Study Objective: To investigate the postoperative morbidity of laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) for endometriosis/adenomyosis in terms of operative outcomes and complications.Design: Retrospective multicentric cohort study.Setting: Eight European minimally invasive referral centers. Patients: Data from 995 patients with pathologically confirmed endometriosis and/or adenomyosis who underwent LH without concomitant urological and/or gastroenterological procedures from January 2010 to December 2020.Interventions: Total LH. Measurements and MainResults: Demographic patients' characteristics, surgical outcomes, and intraoperative and postoperative complications were evaluated. We considered major postoperative surgical-related complications, any grade 2 or more events (Clavien-Dindo score) that occurred within 30 days from surgery. Univariate analysis and multivariable models fit with logistic regression were used to estimate the adjusted odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for major complications. Median age at surgery was 44 years (28-54), and about half of them (505, 50.7%) were on medical treatment (estro-progestins, progestin, or Gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone-analogues) at the time of surgery. In association with LH, posterior adhesiolysis was performed in 387 (38.9%) cases and deep nodule resection in 302 (30.0%). Intraoperative complications occurred in 3% of the patients, and major postoperative complications were registered in 93 (9.3%). The multivariable analysis showed an inverse correlation between the occurrence of Clavien-Dindo >2 complications and age (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.90-0.99), while previous surgery for endometriosis (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.01 -2.60) and intraoperative complications (OR 6.49, 95% CI 2.65-16.87) were found as predictors of major events. Medical treatment at the time of surgery has emerged as a protective factor (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.31-0.81).Conclusion: LH for endometriosis/adenomyosis is associated with non-negligible morbidity. Knowing the factors associ-ated with higher risks of complications might be used for risk stratification and could help clinicians during preoperative counseling. The administration of estro-progestin or progesterone preoperatively might reduce the risks of postoperative complications following surgery.

Abstract

Study Objective: To investigate the postoperative morbidity of laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) for endometriosis/adenomyosis in terms of operative outcomes and complications.Design: Retrospective multicentric cohort study.Setting: Eight European minimally invasive referral centers. Patients: Data from 995 patients with pathologically confirmed endometriosis and/or adenomyosis who underwent LH without concomitant urological and/or gastroenterological procedures from January 2010 to December 2020.Interventions: Total LH. Measurements and MainResults: Demographic patients' characteristics, surgical outcomes, and intraoperative and postoperative complications were evaluated. We considered major postoperative surgical-related complications, any grade 2 or more events (Clavien-Dindo score) that occurred within 30 days from surgery. Univariate analysis and multivariable models fit with logistic regression were used to estimate the adjusted odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for major complications. Median age at surgery was 44 years (28-54), and about half of them (505, 50.7%) were on medical treatment (estro-progestins, progestin, or Gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone-analogues) at the time of surgery. In association with LH, posterior adhesiolysis was performed in 387 (38.9%) cases and deep nodule resection in 302 (30.0%). Intraoperative complications occurred in 3% of the patients, and major postoperative complications were registered in 93 (9.3%). The multivariable analysis showed an inverse correlation between the occurrence of Clavien-Dindo >2 complications and age (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.90-0.99), while previous surgery for endometriosis (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.01 -2.60) and intraoperative complications (OR 6.49, 95% CI 2.65-16.87) were found as predictors of major events.
