According to recent research published in the Bjog - an International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, "Evaluation of long-term outcomes following laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH). Retrospective postal questionnaire. Norwegian university teaching hospital."

"A total of 315 consecutive patients. A questionnaire sent to all patients who underwent a LSH during 2004 and 2005. Persistent vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain, patient acceptability of such symptoms and patient satisfaction following LSH. A total of 240 women (78%) completed the questionnaire. About 24% reported experiencing vaginal bleeding up to 3 years following their hysterectomy, although this was rated as minimal in 90% of cases, resulting in a mean bothersome score of 1.1 (SD 2.0) on a 10-point visual analogue scale (VAS). Women operated on by less experienced surgeons were more likely to report vaginal bleeding following surgery (P = 0.02). About 74% of women reported having menstrual pain prior to surgery, with a mean score of 6.8 (SD 2.1) (10-point VAS). Up to 3 years following surgery, 38% continued to experience menstrual pain, although this was significantly less intense with a mean score of 3.5 (SD 2.2) (P

The researchers concluded: "Although vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain are frequently observed following LSH, these symptoms are significantly reduced and patient satisfaction is high."
