The Clinical Effect of Uterine Hyperf lexion and Cervical Elongation in Cases of Pelviscopic Hysterectomy

In a retrospective study of women who had undergone pelviscopic hysterectomies in the last 2 years, we focused on postoperative cyclic spotting. Preoperatively, a regular, cyclic menstruation and a premenopausal sexual hormone constellation were common to all patients. In the first group (n = 29), spotting occurred only in association with two uterine anatomical varieties: uterine hyperflexion and cervical elongation. The second group (n = 18), in which intraoperative internal electrocoagulation of the residual cervical envelope was performed, no spotting occurred despite the presence of uterine hyperflexion and cervical elongation. This procedure prevents the occurrence of postoperative spotting in cases of uterine anatomical varieties.
