High morbidity after vaginal hysterectomy warrants caution with higher ASA; leaves open prospective confirmation that antibiotics reduce serious events.
What is the rate of perioperative morbidity associated with vaginal hysterectomies for benign reasons, and what are the associated risk factors?
Vaginal hysterectomy for benign reasons carries a notable risk of perioperative morbidity, which is significantly increased by higher ASA scores and the omission of prophylactic antibiotics.
Beckmann et al. (2007) studied this question.
