Abstract
PURPOSE: Supracervical as well as total hysterectomy are considered to improve postoperative sexuality as well as quality of life, but the benefit of supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) is impaired in up to 20 percent by postoperative spotting. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of a conical excision of the cervical stump during supracervical hysterectomy on the postoperative spotting rate and its influence on sexuality and in turn quality of life. METHODS: 321 Patients who underwent a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy with conical excision (extended laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy, eLSH, n = 166, Dormagen hospital) or with straight cervical resection (laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy, LSH, n = 133, MIC Clinics Berlin) were included. Sexual matters, quality of life parameters and additional questions were recorded before operation, at three months of follow up, and at one year of follow up in both groups using a validated questionnaire (German version of International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Vaginal Symptoms Module, ICIQ_VS). Statistical analysis included the impact and impairment of bleeding on sexuality, quality of life in both groups and co-factors such as vaginal symptoms. RESULTS: 11.3% after eLSH and 15.5% after LSH reported spotting after 1 year. Supracervical hysterectomy significantly improves quality of life and sexuality and a conical excision of the remaining stump is associated with a lower but insignificantly reduced spotting rates. Postoperative spotting has no negative influence on sexual matter score of ICIQ_VS, but reduces the postoperative quality of life focusing on vaginal symptoms in a significant way. CONCLUSION: The improvement of ICIQ_VS scores after supracervical hysterectomy is independent of postoperative spotting, but the quality-of-life score is positively influenced by a reduction in the postoperative spotting rate.
