Effects of abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy on anorectal functions along with quality of life of the patient
Objectives and background: Hysterectomy is the most commonly performed
major gynecological operation for both benign and malign gynecologic
conditions. After hysterectomy, although some investigators have
declared an increased incidence of urinary and anorectal dysfunction,
some others could not show any connection. Methods: The voluntary
patients were divided in two groups: abdominal hysterectomy (Group 1)
and vaginal hysterectomy (Group 2). Anal manometry and all the other
examinations of the patients were performed at the Department of
General Surgery Endoscopy Unit of Ankara University, Faculty of
Medicine. Results: When the quality of life of the patients was
assessed before the operation and on the 12th post-operative month via
the SF-36 form; it can be seen that body pain parameters of the
patients in Group 1 had significantly improved and there is no
statistical difference in other parameters. When the effect of
hysterectomy on the quality of life of the patients was evaluated by
the \u201cCleveland Clinic Global Quality of Life\u201d form, the
statistically significant improvement in the quality of life of the
patients in Group 2 was observed. Conclusion: If the type of operation
(vaginal or abdominal) is performed due to benign causes, it does not
affect the urinary and anorectal functions of the patients. Depending
on the decrease of complaints of the patients, it has a positive effect
on the quality of life
