[PMID: 36004493 PMCID: PMC9812090 DOI: 10.1111/aogs.14437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Revised: 05/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hysterectomy is one of the most common major surgical procedures in women. The effects of hysterectomy on pelvic floor and sexual function are uncertain. Our objective was to investigate the effects of hysterectomy for benign indications on pelvic floor and sexual function and to compare different modes of surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a prospective clinical cohort study. In all, 260 women scheduled for hysterectomy answered validated questionnaires (Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire, Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory and Female Sexual Function Index). Participants were followed 6 months and 1 year after surgery. Data were analyzed using nonparametric statistics and mixed effect models. RESULTS Women with subtotal hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy, laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy, and previous prolapse/incontinence surgery were excluded from further analysis, leaving the remaining cohort to 242 patients. The response rate at 6 months and 1 year follow-up was 180/242 (74.3%) and 169/242 (69.8%), respectively. There was an improvement of pelvic floor function at both follow-ups; mean score of Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire at baseline was 42.5 (51.7), at 6 months 19.9 (42.2) and at 1 year 23.7 (50.3) (p < 0.001). The mean score of Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory at baseline was 69.6 (51.1), at 6 months 49 (43.2) and at 1 year 49 (43.2) (p < 0.001). There was an improvement of sexual function after 6 months (mean score of Female Sexual Function Index at baseline 17.9 [SD 11.7] and at 6 months 21.0 [SD 11.7]) (p < 0.001). There was no difference in pelvic floor or sexual function when comparing surgical techniques. CONCLUSIONS Robotic assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic hysterectomy and abdominal hysterectomy improve pelvic floor function to the same extent at 6 months and 1 year after surgery. There was an overall improvement of sexual function 6 months after hysterectomy, but this did not persist after 1 year.

The effect of hysterectomy types on vaginal length, vaginal shortening rate and FSFI scores. Taiwan J Obstet Gynecol 2022; 61:427-432.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Vaginal length (VL), size and width may show individual differences among women. Hysterectomy causes VL shortening in patients, and this shortening varies according to the type of hysterectomy performed. Some studies in literature have shown that the shortened VL after hysterectomy may cause dyspareunia and have a negative effect on female sexuality. The aim of this study is to compare preoperative and postoperative vaginal lengths, vaginal shortening rate (VSR) not used before in the literature, and postoperative sexual functions according to hysterectomy types. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the study, which included 136 [55 Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH), 33 Vaginal Hysterectomy (VH), 48 Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH)] sexually active patients under the age of 60 who underwent hysterectomy, the patients were divided into three groups according to the type of hysterectomy performed. Groups were compared in terms of demographic variables, preoperative/postop and control VL, vaginal shortening rate and The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) scores. RESULTS Vaginal lengths measured after TLH was longer and vaginal lengths measured after VAH was shorter, the difference was significant (p < 0.01). VSRs were 15.9% in TAH group, 10.9% in VH group and 8.3% in TLH group (p < 0.05). Total FSFI score was higher in TLH group than TAH and VH group (p < 0.01). Group of VSR>15% had statistically significantly lower FSFI scores in lubrication, orgasm, pain and total score than both the VSR<10% group and the VSR 10-15% group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Calculating the VSR after hysterectomy instead of postoperative VL measurement will allow us to obtain more individual and accurate results in predicting postoperative sexual functions. We found that TLH is the best hysterectomy method in terms of preserving sexual functions due to less loss of vaginal tissue in the postoperative period from these three techniques that are frequently.

Abstract
Introduction Da-Vinci-Xi is the most recent device used in gynecologic robotic surgery. The aim of the present study was to compare the long-term satisfaction of patients who had undergone conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy or robotic assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy using the Da-Vinci-Xi surgical system. Methods All hysterectomies performed at the University Hospital of Luebeck from 2018 to 2019 were reviewed. Postoperative outcomes were compared between women who had undergone total hysterectomy with da Vinci Xi (n = 42) or conventional laparoscopy (n = 97). Postoperative outcomes included pain, elimination of complaints after surgery, bladder function, sexual function, satisfaction with the cosmetic outcome, positive experiences after robotic surgery, and satisfaction with the surgeon’s preoperative explanation. Obese patients were evaluated separately in a subgroup analysis. Results Both groups had similar baseline characteristics and complication rates. Preoperative complaints subsided after surgery in a little more than 90% of patients. No significant differences were noted between groups in this regard (p = 0.262), or with reference to postoperative pain after one week (p = 0.866) and one month (p = 0.580), stress incontinence (p = 0.343), sexual function (p = 0.766) and the cosmetic outcome of the abdominal incisions (p = 0.273). The majority of patients who had undergone robotic surgery (96.8%) would be willing to undergo the procedure again if necessary. The subgroup analysis of obese patients revealed no significant differences. Conclusion The Da-Vinci-Xi device did not improve the long-term surgical satisfaction of normal-weight or obese patients who underwent hysterectomy compared with patients who underwent conventional laparoscopy performed by experienced laparoscopic surgeons.

Abstract
This randomised clinical trial aimed to evaluate the vaginal length and female sexual function after vertical and horizontal closure of the vaginal cuff after abdominal hysterectomy. The patients were allocated into two groups, vertical closure and horizontal closure groups. The vaginal length was determined using transperineal ultrasound, once preoperative and again 3 months after the operation. Female sexual function was determined using an Arabic validated female sexual function index questionnaire. Both techniques resulted in a significant shortening of the vaginal length (p-value .001). There was a significant improvement in sexual function in the vertical closure group rather than the horizontal closure one. We concluded that there was no significant difference in the vaginal length after vertical or horizontal closure of the vaginal cuff. However, female sexual function improved significantly in the vertical closure group.Trial registration number: PACTR201909573801168.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? Conflicting results exist regarding the effect of different techniques of vaginal length closure on vaginal length and sexual function after hysterectomy.What do the results of this study add? There was no significant difference in the vaginal length after vertical or horizontal closure of the vaginal cuff. However, female sexual function improved significantly in the vertical closure group. This study is considered to be the first one to evaluate the correlation between the vaginal length and the female sexual function.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? The correlation between vaginal length and female sexual function needs to be evaluated in a multicenter study, recruiting larger number of sexually active women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate and compare the long-term clinical outcomes of four different transvaginal mesh systems. METHODS This retrospective study included 695 patients classified into four groups (Prolift, n = 132; Perigee-Apogee, n = 186; Prosima, n = 60; Elevate; n = 317), with a median follow-up time of 5.8 years (range 0.5-12.2 years). The outcomes were objective anatomic success (Pelvic Organ Prolapse [POP] Quantification system stage ≤1), mesh exposure, and urologic functional assessments. RESULTS For anatomic outcomes, we stepwise analyzed the short-term (within 3 years) and long-term (after 3 years) results. Prolift had the highest long-term success rate (9 years: 82.1%, P = .007). Elevate had a comparable short-term success rate (3 years: 87.5%), but its long-term success rate significantly decreased over time (5 years: 78.6%, 9 years: 66.8%, P = .007). Prosima had the lowest short-term success rate (P = .027). For the long-term mesh exposure rate (9-year cumulative), Elevate had the lowest with 11.1%; next were Perigee-Apogee (18.8%) and Prolift (24.6%); and Prosima had the highest with 39.4%, with a significant difference. In terms of urinary functional results, we observed no significant differences in voiding dysfunction, de novo stress urinary incontinence, or de novo overactive bladder symptoms among the four mesh groups, whether combined with midurethral sling surgery or not. CONCLUSION Different vaginal mesh designs have various advantages and features. Prolift provided the best long-term anatomic success but had a high mesh exposure rate. Elevate gave comparable short-term success but had a decreased long-term success rate. However, Elevate is superior with the lowest long-term mesh exposure rate. Prosima had the worst anatomic correction and highest mesh exposure rates. This study provides a comprehensive long-term comparative result for POP patients and surgeons.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS This was a planned secondary analysis of a systematic review that described sexual function outcomes following pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery. We aimed to describe the relationship of pre- and postoperative vaginal anatomic measures with sexual function outcomes. Data Sources included the Medline, Embase, and clinicaltrials.gov databases from inception to April 2018. METHODS The original systematic review included prospective, comparative studies that reported sexual function outcomes before and following POP surgery. Studies were extracted for population characteristics, sexual function outcomes, and vaginal anatomy, including total vaginal length (TVL) and genital hiatus. By meta-regression, we analyzed associations across studies between vaginal anatomic measurements and sexual function using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Function Questionnaire-12 (PISQ-12) and dyspareunia outcomes. RESULTS We screened 3124 abstracts and identified 74 papers representing 67 original studies. Among these, 14 studies reported TVL and PISQ-12 outcomes. Nine studies reported TVL and dyspareunia outcomes, eight studies reported GH and PISQ-12 outcomes, and seven studies reported GH and dyspareunia outcomes. We found no associations between anatomic measures and PISQ-12 or dyspareunia, although, we found a statistically significant association found between preoperative TVL and change in PISQ-12. CONCLUSION Across studies, the evidence does not support an association between vaginal anatomy and either validated, condition-specific sexual function questionnaires or dyspareunia. However, no study has directly analyzed these associations in the setting of pelvic floor reconstructive surgery.

Abstract
With the advance of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), the surgical trends of hysterectomy changed significantly during past 2 decades. Total number (age-standardized) of all types of hysterectomy decreased, which may be due to the availability of some other alternatives, e.g. hysteroscopy, laparoscopic myomectomy. However, laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) still remains the mainstream of surgical treatment. LH significantly increases for benign gynecologic conditions in Taiwan and worldwide. The increase of LH was accompanied with decrease of TAH; VH kept stationary, and SAH increased slightly. The increase in popularity of LH and SAH; provides evidence of surgical trends and a paradigm shift for hysterectomy. This time-frame shift suggests LH has reached a u during the later years. Older patients tend to receive AH, while middle-aged women tend to receive LH. Oder surgeons tend to perform AH, while younger surgeons tend to perform LH. However, all type hysterectomy and LH were more commonly performed by older surgeons aged over 50 years. It means both patients and surgeons became older during the time-frames. The above phenomena may also happen due to less young surgeons entered in the gynecologic practice. Most of the LHs were performed by high-volume surgeons, however, there is a shift from high-volume, to medium- and low-volume surgeons. The above scenario may be due to the wide spread of LH techniques. Surgical volume has important impacts on both complications and costs. The high-volume surgeons have lower complications, which result in lower costs. In the future, how to increase the use of LH, to improve the training and monitoring system deserves more attentions.

Abstract
Aim: The objective of the study was to evaluate the benefits of robotic-surgery for hysterectomy compared to conventional laparoscopy for benign indications. A specially prepared telephone-based questionnaire was used postoperatively. Method: All women (n = 155) undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign indications either by the robotic-assisted procedure (RALH) or conventional laparoscopy (CL) between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2017 at the Department of the Gynecology, University Hospitals, Campus Kiel, Germany, were eligible for analysis. Intra-operative and postoperative parameters affecting the patients’ quality of life were assessed by a telephone-based questionnaire. The latter addressed postoperative pain, limitations of basic hygiene, daily activity, active pursuit of hobbies, sexual intercourse, and days of sick leave. All patients received the questionnaire by post at least three weeks prior to being contacted on the phone. Results: 78% of the contacted patients responded to the questionnaire; 96% (n = 115) of the patients said they would recommend the operation to other patients. Both groups needed 42 days to resume their regular hobbies. In whole 90.8% (n = 108) were total satisfied with the cosmetic result of the abdominal incision; the numbers in the respective groups were 80% (80% n = 36) in RALH and 97.3% (n = 72) in CL. The difference was significant on the Chi-square test (p = 0.002). 5% (n = 7) were dissatisfied with the scar (13.3%; n = 6) in the RALH group, and 1.4% (n = 1) in CL. In all 1.7 % of patients were dissatisfied with the position of the incisions; the respective numbers were 4.4 % (n = 2) in the RALH group and no patient in the CL group. 33% of patients experienced no limitations in regard of sexual intercourse after the operation. The median number of days taken to resume sexual intercourse after the operation was 56 days in the CL group, and 49 days in the RALH group. Nearly 30% (n = 25) were hesitant to resume intercourse. The median operating time was 145 min in the RALH group, which was significantly longer than the 117 min taken in the CL group (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The RALH procedure was associated with some minor advantages for the patients according to the results, however it does not have major significant advantages, especially in regard of early restoration of sexual function, while the CL shows shorter operating times and similar limitation. Postoperative counseling of patients should be aligned to their fears and expectations in regard of sexual function.

Abstract
Background: Women who had undergone hysterectomy have to overcome problems related to sexual and reproductive health. They often suffer a decline in self-esteem due to sexual dysfunction and the inability to give birth, along with their quality of recovery. This study aims to describe the relationships between recovery time and the components of quality of life after hysterectomy. D esign and methods: 103 women post-hysterectomy from several community-integrated health center in Surabaya were selected using the total sampling technique. Results: Findings show that there is relationship between recovery time period and sexual activity (P=0.000). However, no significant relationship exists between recovery time period personal relationships and social support. Conclusions: It is recommended that nurses should improve their social support for women and families during recovering, to avoid pathological stress and improve quality of life. Significance for public health Hysterectomy has several impacts on women, affecting their quality of life. Different length of recovery time period may affect quality of life after hysterectomy. Adequate help and support from friends, family and health care professionals, could improve their quality of life after surgery. Three components of quality of life are discussed, namely personal relationships, social support, and sexual activity. This study describes the relationships between recovery time period and the components of quality of life after hysterectomy

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the impact of adopting an uterine manipulator (UM) on the postoperative (VL) and female sexual function index (FSFI) in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy (AH) for benign gynecological disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hysterectomies were performed with the Richardson technique; two variations, a UM or digital guidance, in this technique were used during the colpotomy step. Subjects were randomized and allocated to either hysterectomy with UM guidance (study group) or conventional hysterectomy (control group). Pre- and postoperative VL and FSFI were recorded for each patient. Additionally, surgeons' and residents' satisfaction in locating the colpotomy site was also scored by the surgical team postoperatively. RESULTS There was a significant reduction in the VL (10.2 ± 1.2 cm vs. 8.3 ± 0.7 cm, p < 0.001) and FSFI score (21.0 ± 4.1 to 17.1 ± 3.6, p < 0.001) between the pre-operation stage and three months post-operation in the control group. However, no such significant changes were observed in the study group. Additionally, surgeons' and residents' satisfaction scores (SSS) for locating the colpotomy site were significantly higher in the study group as compared to the control group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our findings revealed that implementation of an UM in AH prevented unintended shortening of the postoperative VL and avoided a decline in the sexual function as compared to the standard AH procedure. These benefits were probably due to the precise determination of the colpotomy site that resulted from the use of UM in AH.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in sexual function after total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) or transabdominal hysterectomy (TAH). This retrospective cohort study included patients with benign uterine tumors that were divided into TLH group and TAH group based on the hysterectomy technique used. Baseline, intraoperative, and postoperative characteristics were compared between groups. Postoperative sexual function was assessed using the Brief Index of Sexual Functioning for Women. The TLH and TAH groups contained 119 patients (age, 51.5±6.1 years) and 126 patients (age, 50.0±4.7 years), respectively. Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups, although uterine size was larger in the TAH group (P<0.001). Compared with the TAH group, the TLH group had a longer operative time (130.0±36.2 vs 107.3±28.5 min, P<0.001), lower pain index at 24 h (2.0±1.6 vs 4.0±2.6, P<0.001), and shorter hospitalization time (5.7±1.1 vs 8.1±1.2 days, P<0.001). Many patients in the TLH and TAH groups reported decreased satisfaction with their sexual life (67.5 and 56.0%, respectively), reduced frequency of sexual activity (70.1 and 56.0%, respectively), decreased libido (67.5 and 56.0%, respectively), orgasm dysfunction (42.9 and 42.9%, respectively), and increased dyspareunia (77.9 and 85.7%, respectively). However, there was no significant difference between groups in any of the indexes of postoperative sexual function (P>0.05). Both TLH and TAH had comparable negative effects on sexual function in women treated for benign uterine tumors in China, with a decreased frequency of sexual activity, reduced libido, orgasm dysfunction, and increased dyspareunia.

J Minim Invasive Gynecol 2019; 27:65-73.e1. [PMID: 30928611 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmig.2019.02.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2018] [Revised: 01/25/2019] [Accepted: 02/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To investigate the surgical trends among different types of hysterectomy (abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic, and subtotal) over a 15-year period in Taiwan. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING A population-based National Health Insurance Research Database. PATIENTS Women undergoing various types of hysterectomy for noncancerous lesions. INTERVENTIONS Data for this study were extracted from the inpatient expenditures by admissions files of Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database from 1998 through 2012 and divided into three 5-year time frames: first (1998-2002), second (2003-2007), and third (2008-2012). The variables included types of hysterectomy, patient age, gynecologist age and sex, hospital accreditation level, and surgical volume. Chi-square and trend tests were used to examine the association between the variables. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 329 438 patients who underwent various types of hysterectomy were identified; 306 257 were included in the study. During the 15-year period, 45% underwent total abdominal hysterectomy, 41% underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH), 9.8% underwent vaginal hysterectomy, and 4.2% underwent subtotal abdominal hysterectomy. The frequency of LHs increased from 35.9% in the first period to 43.9% in the second period and remained at 44.2% in the third period. During the same time period, there was a decrease in the frequency of total abdominal hysterectomies. Typically, younger patients underwent LHs by gynecologists with large volume surgical practices and medical centers. CONCLUSION This 15-year study describes an increase of LHs and subtotal abdominal hysterectomies over time and provides evidence of surgical trends and a paradigm shift of hysterectomies. Surgical skills and performance extended from high- to low-surgical volume gynecologists and from medical centers to regional and local hospitals. This shift may have a great influence on patient and health care provider choice of treatment.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether vertical versus horizontal closure of the vaginal cuff during laparoscopic hysterectomy has an effect on postoperative vaginal length and pelvic organ prolapse. DESIGN A prospective randomized controlled trial. Subjects were randomly assigned to vertical or horizontal vaginal cuff closure at the time of total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Pelvic organ prolapse quantization (POP-Q) tests were performed before surgery, 2 to 4 weeks after surgery, and 3 to 4 months after surgery (Canadian Task Force classification I). SETTING An academic university-affiliated community hospital. PATIENTS Patients undergoing laparoscopic or robotic-assisted laparoscopic total hysterectomy for benign or malignant disease, excluding those undergoing radical hysterectomy or concomitant pelvic floor procedure. INTERVENTIONS Subjects were randomized into the vertical or horizontal vaginal cuff closure group. Total hysterectomy was completed with traditional laparoscopic techniques or with robotic assistance. A colpotomy ring was used in each subject. Vaginal cuff closure was performed with barbed suture in a running fashion according to the group assignment. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 43 subjects were enrolled and randomized. One patient was excluded because the vaginal cuff was closed vaginally, 1 cancelled surgery, and 1 was completed without a uterine manipulator. The mean change in vaginal length was -0.89 cm (standard deviation [SD] = 1.03) in the horizontal group and -0.86 cm (SD = 1.19) in the vertical group (p = .57). POP-Q evaluation revealed no differences between groups and an overall trend toward improved POP-Q measurements. The average duration of vaginal cuff closure did not differ (p = .45), and there were no intraoperative complications related to vaginal cuff closure. CONCLUSION Horizontal and vertical laparoscopic closure of the vaginal cuff after laparoscopic hysterectomy results in similar changes in vaginal length and other POP-Q scores.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate sexual function in women before and after vaginal hysterectomy (VH) and to compare the effects of horizontal and vertical vaginal cuff closure on sexual function. STUDY DESIGN Women with uterine prolapse of stage 2 or higher were included to this prospective, randomized study. All patients underwent VH with McCall Culdoplasty and patients were randomized into two groups in terms of the vaginal cuff closure technique employed which is either vertically (group 1, right to left) or horizontally (group 2, anterior to posterior). Pelvic Organ Prolapse Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-12 Short Form was used to assess sexual function before and 6 months after surgery. RESULTS A total of 78 women participated, 37 in group 1 and 41 in group 2. Significant improvements in were thus evident in both groups 1 (p=0.000) and 2 (p=0.000) after surgery; no significant between-group differences were evident. Overall, 61 women (78,2%) had improved PISQ-12 scores postoperatively, 11 (14,1%) scored the same pre- and post-operatively, and 6 (7,9%) scored lower postoperatively. Women who reported poorer sexual function postoperatively, or no improvement, had new-onset or worsening dyspareunia and/or incontinence. CONCLUSION Most women with uterine prolapse of stage 2 or higher who underwent VH with prolapse repair experienced improved sexual lives postoperatively, regardless of the cuff closure technique used. Although VH to treat POP improves anatomical and sexual concerns, surgery per se may have negative effects on sexual function if new-onset or worsening dyspareunia or incontinence develop.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes after laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) compared with abdominal hysterectomy (AH) in case of benign gynecological disease. METHODS A multi-center cohort retrospective comparative study of population among 4,895 hysterectomies (3,539 LH vs.1,356 AH) between 2007 and 2013 was involved. Operative time (OT), estimated blood loss (EBL), intra-operative and post-operative complications, passing flatus; days with indwelling catheter, questionnaires covering pelvic floor functions and sexual functions were assessed. RESULTS The EBL (174.1±157.4 vs. 263.1±183.2 cc, LH and AH groups, respectively), passing flatus (38.7±14.1 vs. 48.1±13.2 hours), days with indwelling catheter (1.5±0.6 vs. 2.2±0.8 days), use of analgesics (6.5% vs. 73.1%), intra-operative complication rate (2.4% vs. 4.1%), post-operative complication rate (2.3% vs. 5.7%), post-operative constipation (12.1% vs. 24.6%), mild and serious stress urinary incontinence (SUI) post-operative (P<0.001; P=0.014), and proportion of Female Sexual Functioning Index (FSFI) total score <26.55 post-operative (P<0.001) of the LH group were significantly less than those of AH group. There were no significant differences in OT (106.5±34.5 vs. 106.2±40.3 min) between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS LH is a safe and efficient operation for improving patients?long-term quality of life (QoL), and LH is a cost-effectiveness procedure for treating benign gynecological disease. LH is superior to AH due to reduced EBL, reduced post-operative pain and earlier passing flatus.
