    Summary

    The open cuff technique for total abdominal hysterectomy facilitates extraperitoneal drainage, potentially reducing apical infections. While effective, serious complications like hemorrhage and obstruction still occur.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Total abdominal hysterectomy is a common gynecological procedure.
    • Managing apical infections post-hysterectomy is a clinical concern.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the open cuff technique for total abdominal hysterectomy.
    • To assess the impact of extraperitoneal drainage on postoperative complications.

    Main Methods:

    • A consecutive series of 2421 patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy utilized the open cuff technique.
    • The primary aim was to provide extraperitoneal drainage.

    Main Results:

    • The overall morbidity rate was 20.8%.
    • Postoperative hemorrhage occurred in 0.28% of cases, and intestinal obstruction in 0.24%.
    • No cases of pelvic or cuff abscess were reported; mortality was 0.041%.

    Conclusions:

    • The open cuff technique may decrease apical infections by enabling immediate extraperitoneal drainage.
    • While reducing certain complications, severe events like bleeding and obstruction remain potential risks.
