Study Objective: To estimate the risk of bowel obstruction (BO) after hysterectomy for benign indications depending on the surgical method (abdominal, vaginal, or laparoscopic) and identify risk factors for adhesive BO.
Design: A national registry-based cohort.
Setting: Danish hospitals during the period 1984-2013.
Patients: Danish women who underwent hysterectomy for benign indications (N = 125 568).
Interventions: Abdominal hysterectomies were compared with vaginal hysterectomies, laparoscopic hysterectomies, and minimally invasive (vaginal and laparoscopic) hysterectomies.
Measurements And Main Results: The incidence of BO according to the surgical method was compared using Cox proportional hazard regression. The covariates included were the time period, age, concomitant operations, previous abdominal surgery or disease, and socioeconomic factors. In a subanalysis (n = 35 712 women) of the period 2004-2013, detailed information from the Danish Hysterectomy Database enabled the inclusion of patient-, surgery-, and complication-related covariates. The overall crude incidence of BO was 17.4 of 1000 hysterectomies (2196 incident cases). The 10-year cumulative incidence of BO differed among the surgical routes (abdominal, 1.7%; laparoscopic, 1.4%; and vaginal, 0.9%). In multiple-adjusted analyses, the risk of BO was higher after abdominal hysterectomy than after vaginal (hazard ratio 1.64 [95% confidence interval, 1.39-1.93]) and minimally invasive (vaginal or laparoscopic) hysterectomy (hazard ratio 1.54 [1.33-1.79]). Additional pre-existing risk factors for BO at the time of hysterectomy were increased age, low education, low income, smoking, high American Society of Anesthesiologists comorbidity score, history of infertility, abdominal infection, and previous abdominal surgery (apart from cesarean section), penetrating lesions in abdominal organs, or operative adhesiolysis. Perioperative risk factors at the time of hysterectomy included concomitant removal of the ovaries, adhesiolysis, blood transfusion, readmission, and overall presence of perioperative complications.
Conclusion: Abdominal hysterectomy is associated with a 54% higher risk of BO than minimally invasive (laparoscopic or vaginal) hysterectomy.

Uterine leiomyomata, commonly known as fibroids, are prevalent benign tumours affecting a significant percentage of women of reproductive age. Although many patients remain asymptomatic, a substantial proportion experience severe symptoms, including abnormal uterine bleeding and adverse reproductive outcomes. Surgical intervention often becomes necessary for patients with symptomatic fibroids, despite advancements in medical therapies.

Background: The objectives were to determine the prevalence of de novo and persistent pelvic pain after benign hysterectomy and to assess risk factors.
Methods: A Swedish prospective multicenter study of 440 women undergoing benign hysterectomy was conducted between October 2011 and March 2017. Measures of pain, the spatial extent of bodily pain, and pain sensitivity were assessed using a self-reporting questionnaire, Margolis's patient pain drawing, and quantitative sensory testing of pain thresholds for pressure, heat, and cold, respectively.

Parasitic leiomyoma (PL) develops when fragments of a morcellated uterine leiomyoma, during procedures such as laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) or total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), adhere to other tissues. We recently encountered a case where PL developed in the mesentery of the sigmoid colon following TLH. A 51-year-old woman had previously undergone TLH with in-abdominal morcellation.

Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs) are rare tumors that often present with non-specific symptoms, posing diagnostic challenges. This report aims to emphasize the importance of considering AMNs in the differential diagnosis of atypical pelvic symptoms, especially when initial evaluations suggest gynecological issues. A 56-year-old female with a past medical history of hyperlipidemia and a total vaginal hysterectomy performed over 20 years prior for abnormal uterine bleeding due to fibroids presented to her gynecologist with a three-week history of vaginal discharge and pelvic pain.

In our study, we aimed to retrospectively compare vNOTES hysterectomy, a new method, with a vaginal hysterectomy (VH) and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). Our study included 186 hysterectomy cases (62 vNOTES hysterectomy, 62 VH, and 62 TLH) with benign indications diagnosed between 2021 and 2022. Our study is a retrospective and single-center study.
