Does hysterectomy without salpingo-oophorectomy influence the reoperation rate for adnexal pathology? A retrospective study
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess if the abdominal, vaginal and laparoscopical approach to hysterectomy can affect the incidence of ovarian or adnexal pathology after hysterectomy without salpingo-oophorectomy. Methods: In this study 17 cases out of 617 hysterectomies were found to have development of adnexal pathology; reoperation rate was 2.75%. Results: The reoperation rate was significantly different (p < 0.006) in the observed approaches to hysterectomy (TAH 5.67%, VH 0.69%, LH 3.18%). The greatest difference was found between the abdominal and vaginal groups. Conclusion: Our study results have sufficiently shown that the relationship of a number of factors (age, primary histologic findings, smaller peritoneal trauma) had an important impact on a significant difference in reoperation rate between vaginal, laparoscopic and namely abdominal hysterectomies in female patients with preserved adnexa.
