Background: In this study, we aimed to retrospectively investigate the
effects of patients’ age, body mass index (BMI), uterine size, presence of
fibroids, previous surgery, and the experience of surgeons on blood loss during
total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Methods: Data of 416 patients who underwent
total laparoscopic hysterectomy in our gynecology clinic were retrospectively
evaluated. Several factors that may be correlated with blood loss were
investigated based on the changes in their hemoglobin levels. Results: In this
study, BMI (under 30: 1.25 g/dL and over 30: 1.10 g/dL, p = 0.140), age (over 50
years: 1.05 g/dL and under 50 years: 1.20 g/dL, p = 0.196), uterus size (above
500 cm
