The effects of laparoscopic and laparotomy extensive hysterectomy on the safety of ureterovaginal fistula infection in patients with cervical cancer

Laparoscopic and laparotomy extensive hysterectomy

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of laparoscopic and laparotomy extensive hysterectomy on the safety of ureterovaginal fistula infection in patients with cervical cancer. For this purpose, a total of 90 patients with early cervical cancer admitted to Affiliated Huaian No.1 People’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from February 2021 to May 2022 were randomly divided into laparoscopy group and laparotomy group, with 45 cases in each group. The laparoscopy group was treated with laparoscopic extensive hysterectomy, while the laparotomy group was treated with laparotomy extensive hysterectomy. The KPS score, adverse reactions, as well as serum creatinine and urea nitrogen were compared between the two groups. Results showed that after surgery, the KPS score in both groups was higher than before treatment, and the KPS score in laparoscopy group was higher than that in laparotomy group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After operation, the incidence of adverse reactions in laparotomy group was higher than that in the laparoscopy group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Moreover, after operation, the levels of creatinine and urea nitrogen in laparoscopy group were significantly lower than those in laparotomy group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). In conclusion, both laparoscopic and laparotomy extensive hysterectomy may lead to ureterovaginal fistula infection in patients with cervical cancer. However, compared with laparotomy extensive hysterectomy, laparoscopic extensive hysterectomy had higher safety and significantly improved the quality of life of patients, which was worthy of popularization and application in clinical practice.
