Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: AIM: This study aimed to compare the frequency and risk factors of de novo urinary incontinence (UI) following abdominal and vaginal hysterectomies for benign disease. METHODS: The study included patients without incontinence history who underwent abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy for benign indications. Incontinence statuses were assessed at least one year after hysterectomies. Data for age, body mass index (BMI), parity, mode of delivery, and the types of hysterectomy and postoperative UI were recorded. RESULTS: The study included a total of 196 patients with mean age of 52.8±11.4 years. Of these, 149 (76%) underwent abdominal hysterectomy (AH) and 47 (24%) had vaginal hysterectomy (VH). The mean follow-up period was 1.97±1.43 years. A total of 41 (20.9%) patients were diagnosed with UI after hysterectomy. De novo UI occurrence following AH and VH was similar(p>0.05). Also, UI types were not significantly found different in either group (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: This study showed that de novo UI occured frequently after hysterectomies. In addition, development and types of UI following AH and VH were comparable. KEY WORDS: Abdominal hysterectomy, Urinary incontinence, Vaginal hysterectomy.
