Single-center Experience of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: Analysis of One Thousand Five Hundred and Fifteen Patients.
Journal of the Turkish German Gynecological Association(2024)
Abstract
Objective:Laparoscopic hysterectomy has become an increasingly used surgery in recent years. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features and perioperative outcomes of patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign or malignant indications in a single center during a period of eight years. Material and Methods:Data of patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy in the gynecological oncology department of a university hospital over a period of eight years was analyzed retrospectively. Two groups were formed based on being operated for benign or malignant indications. Demographic characteristics and perioperative data of these groups were evaluated. Results:A total of 1,515 patients underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy. The mean age of the patients was 52.0±9.8 years and mean BMI was 31.3±8.5 kg/m2. Of these, 1,219 had benign and 296 had malignant histopathology results. In the whole cohort, intraoperative complications were seen in 1.6% and postoperative complications in 3.5%. The patients in the malignant group were older, had a higher body mass index, and a higher comorbidity rate. The duration of operation and length of hospital stay were significantly longer in this group (p=0.0001 for all parameters). However, intraoperative and postoperative complication rates, rate of blood transfusion and amount of transfusion were similar between the two groups (p>0.05). Conclusion:Laparoscopic hysterectomy can be performed with low complication rates in benign and malignant indications, regardless of the patient's contributing factors. However, since experience is important, financial resources and personnel training processes should be supported.
