BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The costs to perform a hysterectomy are widely variable. Our objective was to determine hysterectomy costs by route and whether traditionally open surgeons lower costs when performing laparoscopy versus robotics. METHODS Hysterectomy costs including subcategories were collected from 2011 to 2013. Costs were skewed, so 2 statistical transformations were performed. Cost...

Minimally invasive hysterectomy is a standard procedure. Different approaches, as laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy, and subtotal and total laparoscopic hysterectomy, have been described and evaluated by various investigations as safe and cost-effective methods. In particular, in comparison to abdominal hysterectomy, the minimally invasive methods have undoubt...

The present study evaluate the histopathologic findings and clinical indications in hysterectomized patients based on sonographic assessments. This study population consisted of all patients who were referred to the Pathology Ward of Imam Reza educational and treatment Center (Kermanshah, Iran) during March 2006 to May 2012. The samples were stained with hematoxylin-eosin after fixation in form...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of surgical resection extent on the postoperative complications and the prognosis in patients with stage II endometrial cancer. METHODS A total of 54 patients were retrospectively reviewed, 35 patients underwent subradical hysterectomy and 19 patients received radical hysterectomy, both with simultaneous bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic and paraao...

Hysterectomy is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the United States. Selection of the route of hysterectomy for benign causes can be influenced by the size and shape of the vagina and uterus; accessibility to the uterus; extent of extrauterine disease; the need for concurrent procedures; surgeon training and experience; average case volume; available hospital technolog...

INTRODUCTION Many women experience improved sexual function after hysterectomy. However, a sizeable minority of women report worsened sexual function after the surgery, and concerns about the effect of surgery on sexual function are common among women planning to undergo hysterectomy. AIM The present study examined the role of education about the potential sexual consequences of hysterectomy ...

Objectives. We assess whether it is feasible for robotic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer to be less expensive to society than traditional laparoscopic hysterectomy or abdominal hysterectomy. Methods. We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of patient characteristics, operative times, complications, and hospital charges from all (n = 234) endometrial cancer patients who underwent hyster...

Objective: Is subtotal abdominal hysterectomy with thermal damage of endocervical canal better than total abdominal hysterectomy for benign lesions? Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Zagazig University Hospital, Obstetrics and Gynecology Department From September 2011 – September 2012. Population: 100 patients with benign gynaecological lesions designed to have abdominal hysterectomy. Pat...

Objective: This paper aims to discuss the influencing factors and the method for reducing emergency hysterectomy. Method: The clinical data of 50 patients treated with emergency hysterectomy in our hospital from January of 2007 to March of 2017 were collected from the hospital information system. Results: A total of 14,253 women had institutional delivery in our hospital from January of 2007 to...
