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
!Introduction: Endoscopy has begun to play an increasingly important role in the surgical therapy of uterine cancers. To date, there is no data on the use of laparoscopy to treat endometrial cancer (EC) and cervical cancer (CC). Method: A Germany-wide, anonymised survey was done of all gynaecological clinics/endoscopy clinics, using a standardised questionnaire. Results: A total of 128 clinics responded: 16 university clinics (12.5 %), 30 hospitals offering maximum care (23.4 %), 66 general hospitals (51.5 %), 5 outpatient clinics (3,9 %), 4 physicians in private practice affiliated to hospitals (3.1 %) and 7 hospitals (5.4 %) which did not indicate status. Laparoscopy was used in the treatment of 82 % of all EC and 54 % of CC. Surgery for EC was done completely laparoscopically in 58% of cases and with laparoscopic assistance using a vaginal approach in 32 % of cases. If lymphadenectomy (LNE) was additionally performed, this was done abdominally in 42% of cases and laparoscopically in 53 %. Cervical cancer was treated by laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (HE) in 44 % of cases and by radical HE using a vaginal approach in 14 %. 4 % of hospitals reported the use of other endoscopic methods (e.g. DaVinci). While the majority of hospitals (43.3 %) treated more than 75 % of EC patients using laparoscopy, in many clinics (38.3 %) less than 25 % of CC patients were treated using endoscopy. Discussion: Laparoscopy is used more often in EC surgery as compared to surgery for CC. However, there are still major differences between hospitals with regard to case numbers, the number of uterine cancers treated using endoscopic surgery, and the type of endoscopic surgery.
Ergebnisse: Zur Eröffnung des Uteruscavums kam es in acht Fällen. Bei drei Patientinnen wurde zur Laparotomie konvertiert. Die Konzeptionsrate betrug 65,7%. In einem Fall trat eine Uterusruptur in der 31. SSW nach pelviskopischer Operation eines 6 cm großen Myoms auf. Insgesamt 11 zum Teil noch nicht publizierte Uterusrupturen nach pelviskopischer Myomenukleation sind uns bekannt geworden, drei davon nach Myolyse. Schlußfolgerung: Die Summe der Einzelfälle reicht sicher nicht aus, um endgültige Konsequenzen zu ziehen. Die Ergebnisse deuten aber darauf hin, daß bei der pelviskopischen Myomoperation von Kinderwunschpatientinnen möglichst wenig koaguliert und eine suffiziente Adaptation der Wundränder mit mehreren Nähten angestrebt werden sollte. Die Zerstörung der uterinen Tektonik prädisponiert möglicherweise zur Ruptur in der Gravidität.
