Abstract EN
Aim of the Work: To assess whether the outcome after closing the visceral peritoneum covering the vaginal vault during total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) is better compared to non-closure.
Design^ A controlled randomized trial.
Subjects and Methods: Seventy-three patients undergoing TAH for various indications were randomized to either closure (n = 36) or non-closure (n = 37) of the visceral peritoneum covering the vaginal vault.
Post-operative assessment of vaginal bleeding, occurrence of urinary complications, fever, vaginal vault haematoma and granuloma was done.
Follow-up after 6 and 12 months was done looking for vault granuloma and/or prolapse.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference in post-operative vaginal bleeding in the 2 groups, as well as the incidence of urinary complications, fever, or vaginal vault granuloma.
The incidence of vaginal vault haematoma was higher in the closure group (13/36) compared to the non-closure group (5/37) (P< 0.05).
After 6 and 12 months, there were no vault granulomata or prolapse recorded.
Conclusion: Leaving the visceral peritoneum covering the vaginal vault unclosed causes no harm to the patient.
It may even decrease the incidence of vaginal vault haematoma.
