Bladder Function after Hysterectomy

Abstract

Objective: To determine the effect of hysterectomy on bladder function
 pre- and post-radical hysterectomy in early stage of cervical
 cancer.
 Method: This study was a pre-post intervention study. Data were
 collected through questionnaires from women who had radical hysterectomy
 and total hysterectomy in Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado
 general hospital and other networking hospitals since January 1st,
 2014 to November 31st, 2014. We analyzed the data using Wilcoxon
 and Mann-Whitney statistical test.
 Result: There were each 18 respondents for the radical and total
 hysterectomy group in Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou general hospital and
 networking hospitals. The age distribution of radical hysterectomy
 was 41-45 years old for 44.4%. The parity was dominated by second
 parity for 38.8%. In pre- and post-surgery, there were significant differences
 for urinary incontinence disorder (p=0.003), emptying disorder
 (p=0.008), urinary pain (p=0.034), and total urinary disorder
 (p=0.001). While, between radical and total hysterectomy, there was
 no significant difference in bladder function (p>0.05).
 Conclusion: There is an association before and after surgery to urinary
 function. However, there is no association between the radical
 and total hysterectomy group.
