Outcomes after Total versus Subtotal Abdominal Hysterectomy

Abstract: Neither subtotal nor total abdominal hysterectomy adversely affects pelvic organ function at 12 months. Subtotal abdominal hysterectomy results in more rapid recovery and fewer short-term complications but infrequently causes cyclical bleeding or cervical prolapse.

“…The advantages of abdominal supracervical hysterectomy are questionable, as recent randomized trials have demonstrated no differences in sexual and urinary functions outcomes in women treated with the two procedures 86,87 (Class 1b). However, there may be less blood loss associated with supracervical hysterectomy 86 (Class 1b), a feature that may justify considering this approach in women with acute uterine bleeding. The various techniques are discussed in more detail in the SCPMG chronic abnormal uterine bleeding guidelines currently in preparation.…”

Subsequent studies failed to find benefit from retention of the cervix at hysterectomy (6)(7)(8)(9). Moreover, persistent symptoms in some women, mainly pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding, force removal of the cervical stump (6,10,11).…”
