Alkatout I, Mazidimoradi A, Günther V, Salehiniya H, Allahqoli L. Total or Subtotal Hysterectomy for the Treatment of Endometriosis: A Review. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12113697. [PMID: 37297893 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12113697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Revised: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the review was to evaluate and compare outcomes after total or subtotal hysterectomy in women with endometriosis or adenomyosis. METHODS We searched four electronic databases: Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science (WoS). The first aim of the study was to compare outcomes after total and subtotal hysterectomy in women with endometriosis, and the second aim was to compare the two procedures in women with adenomyosis. Publications that reported short- and long-term outcomes after total and subtotal hysterectomy were included in the review. The search was not subject to any limitation in terms of time or method. RESULTS After screening 4948 records, we included 35 studies published from 1988 to 2021; the studies were based on various methodologies. With regard to the first aim of the review, we found 32 eligible studies and divided these into the following four categories: postoperative short- and long-term outcomes, recurrence of endometriosis, quality of life and sexual function, and patient satisfaction after total or subtotal hysterectomy in women with endometriosis. Five investigations were deemed eligible for the second aim of the review. No differences were seen in terms of postoperative short- and long-term outcomes after subtotal or total hysterectomy in women with endometriosis or adenomyosis. CONCLUSIONS Preservation or removal of the cervix in women with endometriosis or adenomyosis appears to have no effect on short- or long-term outcomes, recurrence of endometriosis, quality of life and sexual function, or patient satisfaction. Nevertheless, we lack randomized blinded controlled trials on these aspects. Such trials will be needed to enhance our comprehension of both surgical approaches.

Millet P, Gauthier T, Vieillefosse S, Dewaele P, Rivain AL, Legendre G, Golfier F, Touboul C, Deffieux X. Should we perform cervix removal during hysterectomy for benign uterine disease? Clinical practice guidelines from the French College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (CNGOF). J Gynecol Obstet Hum Reprod 2021; 50:102134. [PMID: 33794370 DOI: 10.1016/j.jogoh.2021.102134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 03/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide guidelines from the French College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (CNGOF), based on the best evidence available, concerning subtotal or total hysterectomy, for benign disease. METHODS The CNGOF has decided to adopt the AGREE II and GRADE systems for grading scientific evidence. Each recommendation for practice was allocated a grade, which depends on the quality of evidence (QE) (clinical practice guidelines). RESULTS Conservation of the uterine cervix is associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer (0.05 to 0.27%) and an increased risk of reoperation for cervical bleeding (QE: high). Uterine cervix removal is associated with a moderate (about 11 min) increase in operative time when hysterectomy is performed by the open abdominal route (laparotomy), but is not associated with longer operative time when the hysterectomy is performed by laparoscopy (QE: moderate). Removal of the uterine cervix is not associated with increased prevalence of short-term follow-up complications (blood transfusion, ureteral or bladder injury) (QE: low) or of long-term follow-up complications (pelvic organ prolapse, sexual disorders, urinary incontinence (QE: moderate). CONCLUSION Removal of the uterine cervix is recommended for hysterectomy in women presenting with benign uterine disease (Recommendation: STRONG [GRADE 1-]; the level of evidence was considered to be sufficient and the risk-benefit balance was considered to be favorable).

Abstract
Importance Patient-centered care integrates the highest clinical standards with patient preferences surrounding their treatment. Increasing focus is being placed on the identification of patient-centered outcomes to optimize the impact of medical treatments on patient quality of life, as defined by patients themselves. Objective This article will review the central concepts of patient-centered outcomes in benign gynecologic surgery. This expert review will serve as a practical guide for surgeons to incorporate patient preferences into shared surgical decision making. Evidence Acquisition The current literature is examined, defining those outcomes identified by women undergoing gynecologic procedures as the most important factors in their decision making. Available literature on these patient-identified priorities is then reviewed with respect to gynecologic surgery in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. Results Each section of the article concludes with Clinical Pearls, where practical tools and key elements are summarized to assist providers with incorporating these concepts into practice. Conclusions and Relevance Many key outcomes have been identified by women undergoing benign gynecologic surgery in their decision-making process. Patient counseling should address clinically appropriate treatment modalities and include an exploration of patient expectations and preferences around nonclinical outcomes as well. This shared decision-making model will result in improved satisfaction with outcomes.

Abstract
There is an ongoing debate regarding the benefits and drawbacks of the various routes of hysterectomy. A number of studies have examined overall quality of life outcomes as well as specific patient-reported outcomes including physical, psychosocial, and sexual functioning after hysterectomy. Existing studies have used varied methodologies with widely heterogeneous results, but patient satisfaction appears to be very high after laparoscopic hysterectomy, with many studies favoring the laparoscopic approach over other routes of hysterectomy. There are many opportunities for further investigation into the impact of laparoscopic hysterectomy on quality of life-an outcome measure that may be 1 of the most important in surgeries for benign indications.

Abstract
Purpose Hysterectomy is the most common non-obstetrical surgery for women in the United States. Few investigations comparing hysterectomy surgical approaches include patient-centered outcomes. Methods The study was performed at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, Michigan between February 2015 and May 2015. The data were collected through structured focus groups with 24 post-hysterectomy women in order to identify PCOs to employ in a subsequent cohort study of hysterectomy surgical approaches. One pilot focus group and five additional focus groups were held. Qualitative data analysis, using data from coded transcripts of focus groups, was used to identify themes.Eligible women, aged between 18 and 65 years and had an EMR documented Current Procedural Terminology (CPT™) code or an International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems - Ninth Edition (ICD-9) code of hysterectomy between December 2012 and December 2014 (N=1,381, N=307 after exclusions) were selected and recruited. A question guide was developed to investigate women's experiences and feelings about the experience prior and subsequent to their hysterectomy. Analysis utilized the Framework Method. Results Focus groups with women who previously had a hysterectomy revealed their pre- and post-hysterectomy perceptions. Responses grouped into topics of pre- and post-surgical experiences, and information all women should know. Responses grouped into themes of 1) decision making, 2) the procedure - surgical experience, 3) recovery, 4) advice to past self, and 5) recommendations to other women. Conclusion These findings about perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes of women having undergone hysterectomy could support health care providers deliver patient-centered care. These results informed data collection for a prospective longitudinal cohort study that is now underway. The data suggest a need for increased education and empowerment in the decision making process, while expanding on information given for post-operative expectations and somatic changes that occur post-hysterectomy.

Hysterectomy for benign disease: clinical practice guidelines from the French College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2016; 202:83-91. [PMID: 27196085 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2016.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2016] [Revised: 03/30/2016] [Accepted: 04/02/2016] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to draw up French College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (CNGOF) clinical practice guidelines based on the best available evidence concerning hysterectomy for benign disease. METHODS Each recommendation for practice was allocated a grade, which depends on the level of evidence (clinical practice guidelines). RESULTS Hysterectomy should be performed by a high-volume surgeon (>10 hysterectomy procedures per year) (gradeC). Stimulant laxatives taken as a rectal enema are not recommended prior to hysterectomy (gradeC). It is recommended to carry out vaginal disinfection using povidone-iodine solution prior to hysterectomy (grade B). Antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended during hysterectomy, regardless of the surgical approach (grade B). The vaginal or laparoscopic approach is recommended for hysterectomy for benign disease (grade B), even if the uterus is large and/or the patient is obese (gradeC). The choice between these two surgical approaches depends on other parameters, such as the surgeon's experience, the mode of anesthesia, and organizational constraints (duration of surgery and medical economic factors). Vaginal hysterectomy is not contraindicated in nulliparous women (gradeC) or in women with previous cesarean section (gradeC). No specific hemostatic technique is recommended with a view to avoiding urinary tract injury (gradeC). In the absence of ovarian disease and a personal or family history of breast/ovarian carcinoma, the ovaries should be preserved in pre-menopausal women (grade B). Subtotal hysterectomy is not recommended with a view to reducing the risk of peri- or postoperative complications (grade B). CONCLUSION The application of these recommendations should minimize risks associated with hysterectomy.
