[Clinical comparison of transvaginal hysterectomy and laparoscopic hysterectomy].
OBJECTIVE
To compare the clinical characteristics of transvaginal hysterectomy (TVH) and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH).


METHODS
Clinical data about 301 cases who received TVH and TLH were collected and the hospital stay days, medical expenses, diagnoses, operation and recovery status were compared between TVH and TLH groups.


RESULTS
The ratio of cervical atypical hyperplasia (9.64%), multipara (96.45%) in TVH was higher than that in TLH (2.88%, 89.42%). The ratio of adenoma (29.44%), adnexal disease (4.55%), pelvic endometriosis (4.06%), history of cesarean section (7.11%) in TVH were lower than that in TLH (43.27%, 31.73%, 12.50%, 24.04%). The operation time (76 +/- 28) minutes, bleeding during operation (170 +/- 125) ml, additional operations (5.08%), pelvic adhesion (4.57%), loosening of pelvic adhesion (0.51%), the diameter of the largest myoma or adenoma (49 +/- 17) mm, expenses for operation and hospitalization (1073 +/- 203) yuan in TVH were lower than those in TLH, which were (139 +/- 52) minutes, (206 +/- 153) ml, 36.54%, 41.35%, 17.31%, (57 +/- 22) mm, (1526 +/- 676) yuan respectively. The differences were significant (all P < 0.05). There was no difference of the uterine weight, complication and length of hospitalization duration between the two kinds of operation.


CONCLUSIONS
TVH is recommended in cases of few pelvic adhesion, or adnexal disease, cervical disease and of multipara. The uterine weight is not a decisive factor.
