Analysis of a Standardized Technique for Laparoscopic Cuff Closure following 1924 Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomies

Figure 6

This chart reflects the complications separated in segments of 200 cases each, over the 19 years of this study. Dehiscence (purple), bleeding (red), infections (green), and adhesions (blue) show gradual decrease over time. The total decrease in complications (black) is due to a variety of factors including the surgeons’ learning curve, improved surgical skills, experience, and judgment.
