Does abdominal hysterectomy increase perioperative morbidity compared to vaginal hysterectomy in patients with benign gynaecological disease?
Absolute Event Rate: 6.2% vs 3.2%
Vaginal hysterectomy is associated with significantly lower perioperative surgical and associated morbidity compared to abdominal hysterectomy for benign gynaecological disease.
H. Clough T. F. Baskett (2001) conducted an observational in Benign gynaecological disease (n=2,088). Abdominal hysterectomy vs. Vaginal hysterectomy was evaluated on Surgical morbidity. Abdominal hysterectomy for benign disease was associated with higher surgical morbidity (6.2%) compared to vaginal hysterectomy (3.2%).
