Sammanfattning
INTERPRETATION : Patient characteristics only partly explain the choice of hysterectomy method in our hospital. Divergent hysterectomy practice in Norwegian hospitals reflects a lack of consensus between gynaecologists and perhaps suboptimal operative competence.
RESULTS : Hysterectomy was done by laparotomy in 59% of patients in our hospital compared to a national mean of 78%. Concomitant oophorectomy was done in 43% of our cases and 31% in all hospitals. Patient having similar preoperative characteristics at our hospital often had different procedures. There were wide variations between hospitals with regard to hysterectomy methods.
MATERIAL AND METHOD : 315 patients who had a hysterectomy at Vestfold Hospital in 2000-2001 were included. A central registry (Norwegian Patient Register) supplied hysterectomy data for 51 other Norwegian hospitals.
BACKGROUND : At Vestfold Hospital hysterectomy for benign disease is performed by five different methods with 14 subvariants. There are no national guidelines for choice of procedure. This study reports some of the preoperative patient characteristics and compares our hysterectomy data with national data.
