Summary

Gynecologic surgeons show varied adherence to benign total vaginal hysterectomy (TVH) guidelines. Fellowship-trained surgeons were less likely to follow certain guidelines, indicating a need for targeted education on evidence-based practices.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Surgery
  • Surgical Practice Patterns
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

  • Published guidelines for benign total vaginal hysterectomy (TVH) exist, but current surgical practice patterns are not well-documented.
  • Understanding surgeon adherence to these guidelines is crucial for improving patient care and outcomes.
  • Variations in practice may exist between fellowship-trained and non-fellowship-trained surgeons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine current practice patterns of gynecologic surgeons regarding perioperative interventions for benign TVH.
  • To assess the adherence of gynecologic surgeons to established clinical practice guidelines for TVH.
  • To compare guideline adherence between fellowship-trained and non-fellowship-trained surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to members of gynecologic surgical societies to assess TVH practice patterns.
  • The primary outcome measured was the comparison of guideline adherence between fellowship-trained and non-fellowship-trained surgeons.
  • Secondary outcomes included comparisons based on surgeon age, practice location, and hysterectomy volume.

Main Results:

  • Of 204 respondents, 80% were fellowship-trained. Fellowship-trained surgeons were more likely to use vaginal packing (34% vs. 15%, P=0.028) and clamp/suture for vessel ligation (88% vs. 68%, P=0.004), contrary to recommendations.
  • No surgical cohort adhered to the guideline recommending a circular cervicovaginal incision.
  • Despite some deviations, both fellowship-trained and non-fellowship-trained surgeons generally adhered to the majority of guidelines for benign TVH.

Conclusions:

  • Significant differences in adherence to specific TVH guidelines exist between fellowship-trained and non-fellowship-trained surgeons.
  • There is a clear need for targeted education and interventions to promote the adoption of evidence-based guidelines in TVH.
  • Improving guideline adherence is essential for optimizing surgical outcomes in benign total vaginal hysterectomy.
