Evaluation of Vaginal Versus Abdominal Hysterectomy for Non Prolapsed Uterus with Benign Gynecological Disease
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Introduction: Vaginal hysterectomy is most common gynecological operation. It has many advantages, like low morbidity rate and early discharge from hospital, over abdominal hysterectomy when performed for benign gynecological conditions.
Objective: To report experience with vaginal hysterectomy performed for benign gynecological conditions.
Methods: 122 hysterectomies were performed in 3 years, from Jan 2009-Dec 2011; One hundred twelve women had vaginal hysterectomy for the uterus having size less than 14 weeks. Demographic and other useful scientific data were noted and analyzed to come to the conclusion that vaginal hysterectomy is safer operation than abdominal hysterectomy even for non prolapsed uterus.
Result: Almost 83.92 % cases had no complication and there were no life threatening complications. However 02 (1.78%) cases needed conversion to abdominal route without any serious morbidity.
Conclusion: Vaginal hysterectomy is simpler, feasible and uneventful treatment modality for gynecological indications other than utero-vaginal prolapse.
