Comparing two Uterine Manipulators During Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Use of the Hohl manipulator results in a shorter operative time from skin incision to detachment of the uterus during TLH. Although the colpotomy time is shorter using the Hohl manipulator, this did not translate to less thermal damage to the vaginal cuff. Further studies comparing uterine manipulators are warranted to find the optimal instrument for ease of surgery and decreased thermal spread.
