Study data from University of Louvain provide new insights into hysterectomy.(Report)
"The aim of this study was to evaluate the complication rate after laparoscopic total hysterectomy and laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy (LASH) in case of benign disease. All complications were prospectively recorded at the time of surgery and analysed retrospectively. University hospital," scientists in Brussels, Belgium report (see also Hysterectomy).
"Among 4505 hysterectomies performed by the same team using the same techniques between 1990 and 2006, 3190 were performed by laparoscopy, 906 by the vaginal route and 409 by laparotomy. Laparoscopic hysterectomies, defined as laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy (LASH) and total laparoscopic hysterectomy [laparoscopy-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) switched to total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) in 2000], were compared with vaginal and abdominal hysterectomies. Since the early 1990s, the number of laparoscopic procedures has continued to grow, while the number of abdominal and vaginal procedures has decreased. Both minor complications (fever > 38.5 degrees C after 2 days, bladder incision of
The researchers concluded: "The results from our series of 4505 women clearly show that, in experienced hands, laparoscopic hysterectomy is not associated with any increase in major complication rates."
Donnez and colleagues published their study in Bjog - an International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (A series of 3190 laparoscopic hysterectomies for benign disease from 1990 to 2006: evaluation of complications compared with vaginal and abdominal procedures. Bjog - an International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 2009;116(4):492-500).
