“…The problem of the insufficient number of gynaecological procedures achieved during training is evidently a reflection of the overall decrease in gynaecological operations, especially hysterectomies. For instance in Finland, the number of annual hysterectomies has halved in 10-15 years (11). Meanwhile, the type of hysterectomy has changed dramatically so that in Turku at the moment, as in whole Finland, the rate of abdominal hysterectomies is rather low while laparoscopic and vaginal ones comprise the majority (75%) of all hysterectomies.…”

Background: Minimally invasive surgical techniques are increasingly being used for performing hysterectomy. We assessed changes in surgical techniques for hysterectomy that happened during the last decade among the complete Icelandic population. Methods: Databases in all hospitals in the country were searched to identify all women undergoing hysterectomy during the years 2001-2010 inclusive. Information on age at surgery, indication for surgery, surgical techniques, additional intraoperative procedures, and length of hospital stay was gathered. Two 5-year periods, 2001-2005 and 2006-2010, were compared. The proportion of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) was calculated. Results: There were 5,288 hysterectomies that were performed, giving a mean annual incidence of 352/100,000 women. The proportion of MIS increased from 30 to 74% at the main university hospital (p < 0.0001), where the mean hospital stay decreased from 5.4 to 1.7 days. Fewer oophorectomies were performed during the second 5-year period. The most common diagnoses were fibromyomas and abnormal uterine bleeding. The rate of recorded complications was low. A decreasing yearly incidence was observed from 389/100,000 in 2001 to 266/100,000 by 2010. Conclusion: For benign indications, the surgical approach has changed markedly with a high proportion of the operations being performed with minimally invasive techniques, mainly at a secondary/tertiary level.

FINHYST 2006--national prospective 1-year survey of 5 279 hysterectomies

Abstract: In Finland, less invasive approaches comprise 76% of hysterectomies. This trend has resulted nationally in shortening of hospital stay and of convalescence time.
