Zusammenfassung Fragestellung: Die laparoskopische suprazervikale Hysterektomie (LASH) ist bei benignen, therapieresistenten uterinen Erkrankungen eine Alternative zur totalen Hysterektomie. Es gibt nur wenig Daten zur Methodik und Präparation, Technik, Komplikationen und postoperativem Befinden aus dem deutschen Sprachraum. Material und Methodik: In sechs vergleichbaren Tageskliniken des VAAO wurden zwischen dem 1. 4. 2003 und dem 31. 3. 2004 191 laparoskopische suprazervikale Hysterektomien (LASH) prospektiv erfasst. Prä-, intra-und postoperativ wurden relevante Daten in einem einheitlichen Fragebogen erhoben. Alle Patientinnen wurden sechs Monate nach der Operation nachbefragt. Ergebnisse: Das Alter der Patientinnen betrug im Mittel 43 Jahre. Die Hauptindikation zur Operation waren Blutungsstörungen und Dysmenorrhö (65%). Die durchschnittliche Operationszeit lag bei 119 Minuten. Das Durchschnittsgewicht der durch Morcellement extrahierten Korpusanteile betrug 239 g. Die Arteriae uterinae wurden überwiegend bipolar koaguliert (81%). Am häu-
AbstractStudy Objective: Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LASH) is an alternative to total hysterectomy for benign conditions in cases where conservative treatment options fail and hysterectomy is indicated. Only little data from German-speaking countries concerning surgical techniques, postoperative wellbeing and complications is available. Methods: The data of 191 patients scheduled for laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy were prospectively registered between April 1, 2003 and March 31, 2004. A questionnaire was filled in by the physician recording data pre-, intra-and postoperatively. All patients were interviewed six months after surgery and asked about their well-being, possible complaints and their fitness to work by telephone. Results: The average age of the patients was 43 years. The main indications for the operation were abnormal uterine bleeding and dysmenorrhea (65%). The mean operation time was 119 minutes and the average weight of the uterus corpus was 239 g. The uterine arteries were coagulated with bipolar current in most
