COMPARATIVE STUDY
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Mode of anesthesia and major perioperative outcomes associated with vaginal surgery.
International Urogynecology Journal 2020 January
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The primary aim was to compare the incidence of major perioperative complications in women undergoing vaginal reconstructive surgery with general, regional, and monitored anesthesia care using a national database. The secondary aim was to compare length of hospital stay, 30-day readmission rates, urinary tract infections, and reoperation rates between anesthesia types.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was used to study women undergoing vaginal surgery for pelvic floor disorders from 2006 to 2015 via Current Procedural Terminology codes. Demographic and clinical variables were abstracted. The incidence of major perioperative complications was defined as the occurrence of any of the following within 30 days of surgery: death, surgical-site infection, pneumonia, venous thromboembolism, intensive care unit admission, stroke, transfusion, sepsis, and myocardial infarction. Regression analysis was used to estimate the relative risks (RR) associated with anesthesia type for each outcome.
RESULTS: From the database, we gathered data on 37,426 women who underwent vaginal reconstructive surgery between 2006 and 2015; 87.2% (n = 32,623) underwent general, 6.9% (n = 2565) regional, and 5.9% (n = 2238) monitored anesthesia care. Major perioperative complications occurred in 560 women (1.5%). Relative to general anesthesia, the adjusted risk of major perioperative complications was not significantly different in those receiving monitored or regional anesthesia [monitored vs. general, adjusted RR 0.74, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.45-1.20; regional vs. general, adjusted RR 1.23, 95% CI 0.92-1.65].
DISCUSSION: Major perioperative complications in vaginal reconstructive surgery were uncommon, and no differences were observed between monitored, regional, and general anesthesia outcomes.
