[Postoperative complications and work disability after operation on the adnexa per laparotomy and after pelviscopic...

For estimations of the complaint pattern after comparatable operations per pelviscopiam versus per laparotomiam, in a retrospective study 114 patients after pelviscopic operation and 117 patients after laparotomy were examined. The most important significant differences with an advantage for the pelviscopycally operated patients had been found in asking for postoperative spontaneous miction (84.2% versus 37.2%), spontaneous defecation (68.0% versus 8.1%), the time of completely being free from pain when climbing stair (11.9 compared to 20.8 days), the time when the patient absolutely feel no pain any longer (15.8 compared to 51.7 days), in the average hospitalisation time (3.8 compared to 8.9 days) and the time for unfitness for work (24.5 compared to 48.7 days). Under consideration that also after pelviscopic operations pain occur which are to be treated the present studies confirm the clear improvement of life quality pelviscopic operations.
