Summary

Total versus subtotal hysterectomy offers comparable sexual function and bowel/bladder outcomes. Subtotal hysterectomy may prevent complications in difficult cases but carries a risk of bleeding and requires cervical cancer screening access.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • The debate between total and subtotal hysterectomy persists.
  • This study reviews recent comparative and prospective literature on hysterectomy options.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the advantages and disadvantages of total and subtotal hysterectomy.
  • To inform clinical decision-making regarding hysterectomy procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of comparative and prospective studies.
  • Analysis of outcomes related to complications, sexual function, and organ function.

Main Results:

  • Subtotal hysterectomy can prevent severe complications when total hysterectomy is challenging and may reduce vaginal erosion in prolapse repair.

  • Sexual activity and bowel/bladder function are not significantly different between the two procedures.
  • Genital bleeding (5-20%) and cervical stump prolapse (1.5-2%) are potential complications of subtotal hysterectomy, with a low risk of cervical stump carcinoma.

    • Conclusions:

    • Subtotal hysterectomy has a low rate of long-term complications when necessary and can be offered as a choice for benign conditions after discussing risks and benefits.
    • Avoid subtotal hysterectomy in populations with limited cervical cancer screening access.
