Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical application of vaginal hysterectomy. Methods Clinical data of 118 patients with benign uterine diseases treated by vaginal hysterectomy (Vaginal Group) were retrospectively reviewed and were compared with those of 124 patients who underwent open hysterectomy (Open Group). Results The operative time (50 1 min?15 3 min), the intraoperative blood loss (150 4 ml?56 ml), the number of patients with a need for postoperative analgesics (26 cases), the postoperative pyrexia (42 cases), the time to first getting out of bed (26 4 h?6 3 h) and the length of hospitalization (5 2 d?1 2 d) in the Vaginal Group were significantly less than those in the Open Group (70 3 min?12 4 min, 212 2 ml?70 3 ml, 124 cases, 94 cases, 48 5 h?12 1 h, 8 2 d?2 2 d, respectively; P =0 000). There were no statistical significances between the two groups in occurrence of intra- or post- operative complications (Vaginal Group: 0 8%, 1/118, Open Group: 5 6%, 7/124; ? 2=2 982, P =0 084). Conclusions Vaginal hysterectomy has the advantages over open hysterectomy in minimal invasion and rapid recovery.
