Abstract
Objective To assess serious morbidity after abdominal or laparoscopic radical hysterectomy, viewed as a composite endpoint. Subjects and methods We reviewed 41 abdominal radical hysterectomies performed at the San Dureta Hospital, Palma de Mallorca, between 2001 and 2007. Other publications were used as comparative pattern and to establish the components of the composite endpoint. The life table method was used to calculate the proportion of surviving patients. Confidence intervals (CI) of the proportion of patients with morbidity were calculated. Results Six-year survival was 85%. One serious complication was observed in every 21 patients (95% CI, 1.35-16.14%). Conclusions Serious morbidity associated with abdominal radical hysterectomy and laparoscopic radical hysterectomy can be similar.
