Results: According to the findings of this study, the most common intra-operative complication of hysterectomy is bowel injury (16.7%), followed by genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) tract injury (0.8%). The most prevalent post-operative complication was anuria (19.2%). Pulmonary Embolism (Bronchitis, Pu...

Evaluation of Early Post-Operative Complications of Hysterectomized Patients

SAS journal of surgery, 2021

Original Research Article Background: Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. In a total hysterectomy, the uterus and cervix are removed. In some cases, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are removed along with the uterus. In subtotal hysterectomy, only the uterus is removed. Infectious complications after hysterectomy are most common, ranging from 10.5% for abdominal hysterectomy to 13.0% for vaginal hysterectomy and 9.0% for laparoscopic hysterectomy [1]. Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluation of the early post-operative complication of Hysterectomized patients. Methods: The Study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh to find out the common indications of hysterectomy. 100 cases were randomly selected for the study whose common indication of hysterectomy. Clinical examination and evaluation were done from October 2004 to February 2005. Other necessary investigations were done if clinically indicated and to prepare the patient for anesthesia. Statistical analysis of the results was obtained by using window-based computer software devised with Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS-22). Results: Majority of cases who underwent hysterectomy were 31-40 years (52%) of age. Out of 100 cases most of patients (70%) underwent abdominal hysterectomy and only 30 (30%) cases underwent vaginal hysterectomy. Out of 33 cases, clinically diagnosed as leiomyoma of the uterus histopathology revealed leiomyoma in 24 cases. In uncomplicated abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy, the duration of surgery was almost same, vaginal hysterectomies needs slightly longer time. Average hospital stay after operation was same. Conclusion: Uterine weight was not affected the complication rate, estimated blood loss and length of hospital stay in total hysterectomy operation.

Hysterectomy- “A Boon or Bane”

Objective: Hysterectomy has become one of the commonest surgery, even the general surgeons are doing the surgery by the patient’s wish without surgical indication. The retrospective study was carried out in patients, who had come with complaints after hysterectomy and required admissions. Study also included referred cases of post hysterectomy. Their indications, complications, and follow up period were noted. Analysis done. Material and Methods: 75 patients study with history of hysterectomy were studied and analysed. Results: 60% of patients were operated for benign conditions which could have been treated conservatively. 20% patients had post hysterectomy ovarian tumours followed by infection, urinary symptoms, psychological disturbances and carcinoma of vault /stump accounting for 12 % each. Conclusion: Hysterectomy surgery is not the ultimate treatment for most of conditions.

FINHYST, a prospective study of 5279 hysterectomies: complications and their risk factors

Human Reproduction, 2011

background: Hysterectomy guidelines highlight an increase in urinary tract injuries with laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). This national survey analyses complications of LH, abdominal hysterectomy (AH) and vaginal hysterectomy (VH). methods: A prospective cohort undergoing hysterectomy for benign indications during 2006 was drawn from 53 hospitals in Finland; all communal hospitals participated. Detailed questionnaires covered surgical data and intra-and post-operative major and minor complications, for which risk factors were analysed by a multivariate logistic regression model adjusted for surgical data and patient characteristics.

Hysterectomy: surgical route and complications

European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 2002

Objectives: To compare the morbidity associated with abdominal, vaginal and laparoscopic hysterectomies in a group of patients suitable for anyone of these surgical routes. Study design: Retrospective analysis of 1000 consecutive hysterectomies. Results: The 513 patients were deemed to be suitable for hysterectomy by anyone of the three surgical routes. The overall complication rates were 34, 24 and 21% for abdominal, vaginal and laparoscopic hysterectomy, respectively. Multiple regression analysis showed that the morbidity was similar when confounding factors were allowed for, in particular the use of peri-operative antibiotics. Conclusions: The route of hysterectomy is not a major determining factor of peri-operative complications when other confounding variables are taken into account. #

Risk Assessment Model for Complications in Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy: A Pilot Study

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health

Objective: To estimate the rate of intra-operative and postoperative complications, and to define the risk of 30-day major postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo > 2) according to the presence of one of 10 different variables of minimally invasive (MI) hysterectomy; and then to create a risk assessment model easily applicable in clinical practice. Methods: A single center single arm retrolective study. Data of consecutive patients who have undergone MI hysterectomy for gynaecologic disorders between May 2018 and April 2021 were analyzed. Perioperative surgical outcomes, occurrence of intra- and postoperative complications, and readmissions within 30 days from surgery were registered. Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed to determine the factors associated with major postoperative complications. Results: Over the study period, 445 patients were included in the study. The majority of patients developed a minor event, while major complications (grade III) were re...

A Critical Review of 100 Cases of Hysterectomy: A Prospective Study in a Tertiary Care Centre

Scholars International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2021

Background: Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus with or without cervix. When this is done through an abdominal incision it is called abdominal hysterectomy. When the approach is through vaginal vault it is called vaginal hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is a major gynecological operative procedure commonly indicated for women with dysfunctional bleeding, uterine leiomyoma, prolapse, endometriosis & adenomyosis, pelvic pain, premalignant conditions and cancer. Objective: The purpose of the study was to find out the common indications of hysterectomy. Methods: The Study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh to find out the common indications of hysterectomy. 100 cases were randomly selected for the study whose common indication of hysterectomy. Clinical examination and evaluation were done from October 2004 to February 2005. Other necessary investigations were done if clinically indicated and to prepare the patient for anesthesia. Statistical analysis of the results was obtained by using window-based computer software devised with Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS-22). Results: Majority of cases who underwent hysterectomy were 31-40 years (52%) of age. Out of 100 cases most of patients (70%) underwent abdominal hysterectomy and only 30 (30%) cases underwent vaginal hysterectomy. Out of 33 cases, clinically diagnosed as leiomyoma of the uterus histopathology revealed leiomyoma in 24 cases. In uncomplicated abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy, the duration of surgery was almost same, vaginal hysterectomies needs slightly longer time. Average hospital stay after operation was same. Conclusion: For a woman with severe pelvic pain or heavy irregular periods a hysterectomy often means relief from troublesome symptoms. Hysterectomy is offered as a definitive treatment and is associated with high level of satisfaction.

Hysterectomy for benign conditions: Complications relative to surgical approach and other variables that lead to post-operative readmission within 90 days of surgery

Women's Health, 2017

Objective:To examine variables associated with hysterectomy-related complications, relative to surgical approach and other variables, that lead to readmission within 90 days of surgery.Methods:We conducted an observational cohort study for which data were extracted from electronic health records. Data were extracted of all patients (n = 3106) who underwent hysterectomies at 10 Kaiser Permanente Southern California medical centers between June 2010 and September 2011. Patients who were pregnant or had a cancer diagnosis were excluded from the study. To identify univariate associations between examined variables and procedure type, chi-square tests for categorical variables and t-tests or analysis of variance for continuous variables were used. Generalized estimating equations methods were used to test associations between independent variables and primary outcomes of interest. Statistical significance was determined using a p-value <.05.Results:Of 3106 patients, 109 experienced 16...

Morbidity of 10 110 hysterectomies by type of approach

Human Reproduction, 2001

BACKGROUND: Since the late 1980s, the option of laparoscopic hysterectomy has raised questions about the most suitable approach to hysterectomy. METHODS: To evaluate the influence of the type of approach, in causing or avoiding certain complaints in hysterectomies a prospective nationwide study was conducted comprising all hysterectomies for benign disease performed in Finland during 1996. The primary outcomes of interest were the operation-related morbidity, common surgical details and post-operative complications. RESULTS: A total of 10 110 hysterectomies, including 5875 abdominal, 1801 vaginal and 2434 laparoscopic operations showed a low rate of overall complications, 17.2, 23.3 and 19.0% respectively. Infections were the most common complications with incidences of 10.5, 13.0 and 9.0% in the abdominal, vaginal and laparoscopic group respectively. The most severe type of haemorrhagic events occurred in 2.1, 3.1 and 2.7% in the abdominal, vaginal and laparoscopic group respectively. Ureter injuries were predominant in laparoscopic group [relative risk (RR) 7.2 compared with abdominal] whereas bowel injuries were most common in vaginal group (RR 2.5 compared with abdominal). Surgeons who had performed >30 laparoscopic hysterectomies had a significantly lower incidence of ureter and bladder injuries (0.5 and 0.8% respectively) than those who had performed ≤30 operations (2.2 and 2.0% respectively). A decreasing trend of bowel complications was also seen with increasing experience in vaginal hysterectomies. CONCLUSIONS: This large-scale observational study on hysterectomies provides novel information on operation-related morbidity of abdominal, vaginal or laparoscopic approach. The results support the importance of the experience of the surgeon in reducing severe complications, especially in laparoscopic and vaginal hysterectomies.
