Hysterectomy is one of the most common gynaecological surgical procedures performed but there appears to be a decline in the performance of this procedure in Ireland in recent times. We set out to establish the extent of the decline of hysterectomy and to explore possible explanations. Data for hysterectomy for benign disease from Ireland was obtained from the Hospital In-Patient Enquiry Scheme (HIPE) section of the Economic and Social Research Institute for the years 1999 to 2006. The total number of hysterectomies performed for benign disease showed a consistent decline during this time. There was a 36% reduction in the number of abdominal hysterectomy procedures performed.
子宫切除术是最常见的妇科外科手术之一，但近年来爱尔兰该手术的实施率似乎有所下降。我们着手确定子宫切除术下降的程度，并探究可能的原因。1999年至2006年爱尔兰良性疾病子宫切除术的数据取自经济和社会研究所的医院住院病人查询计划（HIPE）部分。在此期间，因良性疾病进行的子宫切除术总数持续下降。腹部子宫切除手术的数量减少了36%。
