COMPARATIVE STUDY
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Type II versus Type III nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy: comparison of lower urinary tract dysfunctions.
Gynecologic Oncology 2006 August
OBJECTIVES: According to our previous experience, Type III Nerve-sparing Radical hysterectomy (NSRH) for cervical cancer presented an acceptable urologic morbidity, without compromising radicality. The aim of this study was to compare Type NSRH with other types of RH in terms of incidence of early bladder dysfunctions and perioperative complications.
METHODS: One hundred and ten patients with cervical cancer were submitted to Type II RH (group 1), Type III NSRH (group 2) and Type III RH (group 3). We assessed the postoperative early bladder function and complications. The follow-up period was 3 months.
RESULTS: Group 1 had a significantly shorter duration of the surgery, minor mean blood loss and shorter mean length of postoperative stay when compared to groups 2 and 3. No intraoperative complications were reported in either of the groups. The groups did not differ significantly in terms of GIII/IV morbidity (group 1 = 10%, group 2 = 10% and group 3 = 15%, chi(2), P value: 0.65). Not even they differed in terms of urologic GI-IV morbidity (group 1 = 13%, group 2 = 15% and group 3 = 10%, chi(2), P value = 0.88). Groups 1 and 2 presented a prompt recover of bladder function, significantly different from that of group 3. There was a significant difference between the groups regarding the number of patients discharged with self-catheterism (group 1 = 0; group 2 and group 3 = 11; chi(2), P value < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The Type III NSRH seems to be comparable to Type II RH and superior to Type III RH in terms of early bladder dysfunctions.
