What Do We Know About Hysterectomy?

چکیده
A total hysterectomy is the most common type of gynecologic surgery and may be performed to treat many diseases that affect the uterus including: abnormal uterine bleeding, uterine fibroids, endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain, anatomic uterine defects, uterine prolapse and cancer (Reich, 2003). Based on German studies from 2005 and 2006 (overall 305 015 hysterectomies performed during the study period) the hysterectomy rate for benign diseases of the genital tract among women aged 20 or older (3.6 out of 1000 women) was higher than in Sweden but lower than in the US or Australia (Gupta, 2006, Stang 2011). The United States still has the highest incidence of hysterectomy, with about 550 000 women undergoing this operation annually, at a cost of more than $5 billion. The rate of this procedure in the USA is 5.4/1000 women, whereas in Italy it is 3.7/1000 and in Norway only 1.2/1000 women (Manyonda, 2003).
