Abstract
Purpose
The rates of hysterectomy are falling worldwide, and the surgical approach is undergoing a major change. To avoid abdominal hysterectomy, a minimally invasive approach has been implemented. Due to the increasing rates of subtotal hysterectomy, we are faced with the following questions: how often does the cervical stump have to be removed secondarily, and what are the indications?
Methods
This was a retrospective, single-centre analysis of secondary resection of the cervical stump conducted from 2004 to 2018.
Results
Secondary resection of the cervical stump was performed in 137 women. Seventy-four percent of the previous subtotal hysterectomy procedures were performed in our hospital, and 26% were performed in an external hospital. During the study period, 5209 subtotal hysterectomy procedures were performed at our hospital. The three main indications for secondary resection of the cervical stump were prolapse (31.4%), spotting (19.0%) and cervical dysplasia (18.2%). Unexpected histological findings (premalignant and malignant) after subtotal hysterectomy resulted in immediate (median time, 1 month) secondary resection of the cervical stump in 11 cases. In four patients, the indication was a secondary malignant gynaecological disease that occurred more than 5 years after subtotal hysterectomy. The median time between subtotal hysterectomy and secondary resection of the cervical stump was 40 months. Secondary resection of the cervical stump was performed vaginally in 75.2% of cases, laparoscopically in 20.4% of cases and abdominally in 4.4% of cases. The overall complication rate was 5%.
Conclusion
Secondary resection of the cervical stump is a rare surgery with a low complication rate and can be performed via the vaginal or laparoscopic approach in most cases. The most common indications are prolapse, spotting and cervical dysplasia. If a secondary resection of the cervical stump is necessary due to symptoms, 66.6% will be performed within the first 6 years after subtotal hysterectomy.
