Many of us may not remember patients used to routinely stay for 5–7 days post-operatively following this procedure when it was performed either via a laparotomy or vaginally. Since then, the use of the laparoscopic approach has reduced this duration to 2 days routinely with a significant reduction in the number of hospital beds required to deliver this service. Dedden and colleagues conducted a randomised controlled trial to compare the physical function of patients at 7 days post-operatively when patients were either discharge home within the same day or the next day follow a total laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign gynaecological indications (pages 1762–1770). The study concluded that this outcome was non-inferior between same and next day discharge from hospital. The study also reported that the post-operative complication rate at 6 weeks post-operatively, re-admission rate and the number of post-operative patient reviews at both hospital and primary care were not statistically significantly different between both study groups. The data also showed that the level of physical function 6 weeks after surgery is still below that measured pre-operatively, suggesting that full recovery from this type of surgery requires a longer time period. Hence, patients undergoing an unremarkable laparoscopic and possibly robotic assisted hysterectomy can be feasibly discharged on the same day after surgery, especially when early mobilisation and other aspects of enhanced surgical recovery are also implemented.</p><p>There remains uncertainty with the effectiveness of surgical excision to cure the pelvic pain from endometriosis. Currently there is an ongoing randomised clinical trial comparing pelvic pain following surgical excision versus placebo for patients with superficial peritoneal disease<span><sup>1</sup></span>. On pages 1793–1804, Lewin and colleagues analysed data from an international database on the effectiveness of surgical excision alone versus excision plus hysterectomy with or without bilateral oophorectomy for improving pelvic pain and quality of life in women with deep recto-vaginal endometriosis. When compared to women who undergone excision alone, non-cyclical pain, dyspareunia, back pain and quality of life scores at 24 months post-operatively were significantly improved in those women who had the endometriosis excised plus hysterectomy without oophorectomy. Those women who had surgical excision together with hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomies also had significant improvement in these outcomes compared to those with excision alone.

Adjusted ORs for PAM when complications occurred in the last pregnancy were, for placental abruption 3.75 (1.20–11.72), preeclampsia: 4.42 (3.17–6.15), preterm birth: 4.32 (3.25–5.75), perinatal death: 24.18 (16.66–35.08), small for gestational age: 2.90 (1.85–4.54), gestational diabetes: 1.43 (0.63–3.25) and pregnancy hypertension: 2.05 (1.12–3.74) compared to mothers without complications. The OR for PAM increased slightly by increasing the number of complicated pregnancies but the trend was stronger for increasing number of complications in the last pregnancy (e.g., during 1999–2019: one complication; 4.14 [2.79–6.13], two complications; 11.50 [6.81–19.43]).</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Complications in the last pregnancy were more strongly associated with PAM than those in the first pregnancy","PeriodicalId":50729,"journal":{"name":"Bjog-An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology","volume":"132 3","pages":"365-374"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1471-0528.17985","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142488188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
