ABSTRACT
STUDY OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate and compare recovery times and quality of life (QOL) in patients undergoing a total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH).DESIGN:
Patients underwent either a TLH or LSH. After surgery, patients maintained a daily log documenting pain, nausea, use of pain medications, and return to daily activities. They also completed a QOL questionnaire (SF-36) before and after surgery. DESIGN CLASSIFICATION Prospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force Classification II-1).SETTING:
University teaching hospital. PATIENTS A total of 122 women undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy. MEASUREMENTS AND MAINRESULTS:
A total of 122 women underwent TLH (n = 71) or LSH (n = 51) for benign indications from February 2008 to January 2010. There was a significantly higher postoperative improvement of QOL scores in the LSH group in 6 of 10 questionnaire categories and summary scores, including physical functioning (p =.03), role physical (p =.002), and bodily pain (p =.03). There were no significant differences in use of pain medications, level of pain, level of nausea, or return to normal activities.CONCLUSION:
LSH appears to provide greater improvement in short-term postoperative QOL compared with TLH. No significant differences were found in postoperative pain or return to daily activities.
