Recurrent pelvic organ prolapse after hysterectomy; a 10-year national follow-up study.

Purpose: Hysterectomy may be a risk factor for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). We assessed the risk of recurrent POP (operations and visits) after hysterectomy among women with previous POP. We also studied patient and operation related risk factors for POP recurrence.

Pelvic organ prolapse after hysterectomy: A 10-year national follow-up study.

Introduction: Hysterectomy may have an effect on the pelvic floor. Here, we evaluated the rates and risks for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgeries and visits among women with a history of hysterectomy for benign indication excluding POP.

Material And Methods: In this retrospective cohort study 3582 women who underwent hysterectomy in 2006 were followed until the end of 2016.

Effect of hysterectomy on re-operation for stress urinary incontinence: 10 year follow-up.

Purpose: Hysterectomy and mid-urethral sling (MUS) are common operations, but little is known about how hysterectomy after MUS affects the risk for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) relapse.

Methods: We included 49 women with a MUS before hysterectomy and 41 women with a MUS concomitant with hysterectomy. The controls, matched by age (± 2 years), MUS type (retropubic vs transobturator) and operation year (± 2 years), included 201 women who underwent the MUS operation without a subsequent hysterectomy.

Hysterectomy Provides Benefit in Health-Related Quality of Life: A 10-Year Follow-up Study.

Study Objective: This study aims to evaluate short- and long-term effects of hysterectomy on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and compare that with a representative age-standardized sample from the general population.

Design: A prospective survey as a part of FINHYST study.

Setting: Four Helsinki area hospitals.

Hysterectomies in Finland in 1990-2012: comparison of outcomes between trainees and specialists.

Objective: To assess trends for hysterectomy methods in the Nordic countries and to compare outcomes of hysterectomies in Finland done by trainees with those done by specialists.

Design: Register-based study.

Setting: NOMESCO database for the Nordic countries and the Finnish Hospital Discharge Register.

Ten years of progress--improved hysterectomy outcomes in Finland 1996-2006: a longitudinal observation study.

Objectives: To study the outcome of various hysterectomies in 2 years 1996 (N =10110) and 2006 (N=5279). The hypothesis was that the change in operative practices in 10 years has resulted in improvements.

Design: 2 prospective nationwide cohort evaluations with the same questionnaire.

FINHYST, a prospective study of 5279 hysterectomies: complications and their risk factors.

Background: Hysterectomy guidelines highlight an increase in urinary tract injuries with laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). This national survey analyses complications of LH, abdominal hysterectomy (AH) and vaginal hysterectomy (VH).

Methods: A prospective cohort undergoing hysterectomy for benign indications during 2006 was drawn from 53 hospitals in Finland; all communal hospitals participated.

FINHYST 2006--national prospective 1-year survey of 5,279 hysterectomies.

Background: In Finland, the number of hysterectomies during one decade has decreased by 34%. The national prospective FINHYST study in 1996 showed abdominal hysterectomy (AH) as being most common: 58%. In Finland since 2002, vaginal hysterectomy (VH) has been most preferred, with laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) surpassing AH in 2005.

National learning curve for laparoscopic hysterectomy and trends in hysterectomy in Finland 2000-2005.

Background: Complications of laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) have been evaluated with particular focus on quantities of urinary tract injuries. An earlier survey in the 1990s on LH in Finland indicated a decreasing trend in complications; our aim was to evaluate the current complications and hysterectomy trends.

Methods: All hysterectomies in Finland performed for benign indication from 2000 to 2005 (n = 56 130) were included, data were obtained from the Finnish hospital care register.
