Abstract EN
It is known that benign gynecological diseases negatively affect sexual function.
For this reason, hysterectomy provides improvement in sexual function as well as symptoms such as bleeding and pain.
The effects of abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) and laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), which are the two most common types of hysterectomy today, are not clear.
In our study, we investigated the effects of TAH and TLH on sexual function and quality of life as well as intraoperative and postoperative results.
In 329 TLH and 126 TAH patients, we compared both and between themselves preoperatively and postoperatively by using the standardized and validated female sexual function index (FSFI) and European quality of life five-dimension scale (EQ-5D).
In conclusion, we found that both types of hysterectomy were effective in improving sexual function, and we concluded that improvement in the laparoscopy group was statistically higher.
Patients who require hysterectomy for benign gynecological reasons should be informed that TLH has a more positive effect on sexual function as well as other advantages, and if the patients’ main complaint is sexual dysfunction, TLH should be preferred compared to TAH.
