The rate of hysterectomies is declining, with a rise in supravaginal procedures. Carcinoma of the cervical stump risk is low with proper screening, but total hysterectomies may impact orgasm frequency.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Hysterectomy rates in Denmark have declined over 13 years.
  • Supravaginal hysterectomy rates have increased in the past two years.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relative merits of supravaginal versus total abdominal hysterectomy.
  • To assess the risk of cervical stump carcinoma and impact on sexual function.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review comparing supravaginal and total abdominal hysterectomy outcomes.
  • Analysis of complication rates, cervical stump carcinoma risk, and sexual function post-hysterectomy.

Main Results:

  • Carcinoma of the cervical stump risk is low with adequate cervical screening.
  • Total hysterectomy may be associated with reduced orgasm frequency compared to supravaginal hysterectomy.

  • Supravaginal hysterectomy is recommended when technical difficulties increase urologic risk.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cervical stump carcinoma is not a major contraindication for supravaginal hysterectomy if screening is maintained.
    • Patient education and adherence to cervical screening protocols are crucial after supravaginal hysterectomy.
    • Consideration of potential impact on orgasm is important in hysterectomy type selection.
