INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: This study aims to determine the risk of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgery related to mode of hysterectomy focusing on vaginal hysterectomy. METHODS: We performed a nationwide cohort study. Women exposed to hysterectomy on benign indications (n = 118,601) were compared to women unexposed to hysterectomy (n = 579,200). The outcome was defined as first occurrence of POP or SUI surgery. Hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using Cox proportional-hazards models. RESULTS: The greatest risks of POP (HR 4.9, 95% CI 3.4-6.9) or SUI surgery (HR 6.3, 95% CI 4.4-9.1) were observed subsequent to vaginal hysterectomy for pelvic organ prolapse. Having a vaginal hysterectomy for other reasons also significantly increased the risks of POP and SUI surgery compared to other modes of hysterectomy. CONCLUSIONS: Hysterectomy in general, in particular vaginal hysterectomy, was associated with an increased risk for subsequent POP and SUI surgery.
