Objective: To report our initial experience with and the short-term outcomes of two-phase laparoendoscopic single-site cervical ligament-sparing hysterectomy (LESS-CLSH). Materials and Methods: A retrospective case study included 40 women who underwent LESS-CLSH from January 2014 to December 2016 at Buddhist Tzu Chi General Hospital. Uterine specimens were extracted through contained manual morcellation with a tissue pouch. The first phase was LESS supracervical hysterectomy and conization of the internal orifice of the cervix. The second phase was transvaginal cervical conization and cylinderization. Women with a uterus diameter of >12 cm, a broad ligament myoma, or severe pelvic adhesion were categorized into a difficult group, and others were categorized into a nondifficult group. Results: The difficult group required more time and had more blood loss than the nondifficult group. The mean surgical time was 187.2 ± 33.9 and 139.1 ± 20.7 min, and the mean blood loss was 533.3 ± 333.3 and 225.3 ± 168.2 mL in the difficult and nondifficult groups, respectively. The overall visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores at 0–4, 24, and 48 h after surgery were 7.1 ± 1.9, 4.2 ± 1.6, and 2.3 ± 1.5, respectively; no difference in the VAS pain scores, pain relief score, and hospitalization duration was observed between the two groups. Minor surgical complications or adverse events on follow-up were noted. Three months after surgery, the diameter and thickness of the cervix were decreased by approximately 0.5 and 1.0 cm, respectively. Conclusion: LESS-CLSH is a minimally invasive, safe, and feasible approach, even for difficult laparoscopic hysterectomy. Contained manual morcellation enables more controlled specimen removal than morcellation only.
