ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Postoperative spotting is a frequent adverse symptom after laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH). The conical excision (eLSH) reduces the postoperative spotting rate, but data in a larger collective are still rare and inconsistent. The influence of persistent bleeding on the anxious and depressive symptoms has not been analyzed yet.METHODS:
311 patients, who underwent a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy with conical excision (n = 163), or with straight cervical resection (n = 148) were included. Anxious and depressive symptoms and postoperative spotting were recorded before operation, at 3 month follow-up and at 1 year follow-up in both operative groups using a validated questionnaire (German version of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HADS-D) and additional questions concerning the frequency and impact of bleeding. Statistical analysis included the impairment of bleeding as well as its impact on depressive and anxious symptoms for both groups.RESULTS:
11.5% after eLSH and 15.5% after LSH reported spotting after 1 year. Supracervical hysterectomy significantly improves depressive and anxious symptoms at 3 and at 12 month follow-up for both groups (p < 0.001) independent on residual spotting. Patients with a preoperative continuous bleeding showed a maximum benefit independent on operative method.CONCLUSION:
Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy has a positive effect on anxious and depressive symptoms in the short-term and intermediate-term follow-up. The conical excision of the cervical stump reduces postoperative spotting rate, but has no explicit advantage on symptoms of depression or anxiety, irrespective of residual postoperative spotting.Palavras-chave
