Surgical Trends in Hysterectomy–A Comparative Analysis

Dr. Smritee Virmani

Abstract :

Objectives: To compare the indications, intra operative characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients undergoing NDVH and TAH. Methods: Fifty cases each of NDVH and TAH requiring hysterectomy for benign gynecological disorders were included. They were compared for indications, complications, operative time, blood loss, length of hospitalisation and total cost involved in the surgery. Results: Main indication of hysterectomy in the two groups was uterine fioid (62%). No statistically significant difference was observed in the intra operative complications between the two groups. Blood loss during surgery was more in the TAH group (p=0.019). The operative time was shorter for NDVH group (p=0.00) and NDVH was more cost effective (p=0.00). Conclusions: NDVH proved to be a feasible and faster operative technique than TAH. Hence it can be offered as a primary method for uterine removal to patients requiring hysterectomy for benign gynaecological disorders.
