To analyze pelvic dysfunctions, quality of life, and survival after nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (NSRH) compared to classical radical hysterectomy (RH) for cervical cancer.
All cervical cancer patients undergoing a RH or a NSRH were evaluated for pelvic dysfunctions and filled in a quality-of-life questionnaire.
A total of 56 women were included; 31 underwent RH (group 1) and 25 NSRH (group 2). Postoperatively, a higher number of patients had urinary incontinence (p=0.02), urinary retention (p=0.01), faecal incontinence (p=0.01) and constipation (p=0.01) in group 1 versus group 2. Patients referred a higher rate of severe sexual dysfunction after RH compared to NSRH (p=0.03). No differences were found in orgasmic frequency and sexual desire; overall quality of life evaluation was more satisfactory after NSRH.
NSRH conferred a better clinical outcome with fewer long-term bladder, colorectal and sexual complications. Post-operative quality of life after NSRH was better, with the same overall survival as compared to RH.
分析与经典根治性子宫切除术(RH)相比,保留神经的根治性子宫切除术(NSRH)治疗宫颈癌后的盆腔功能、生活质量和生存率。
所有接受 RH 或 NSRH 的宫颈癌患者均评估盆腔功能,并填写生活质量问卷。
共纳入 56 例女性;31 例行 RH(组 1),25 例行 NSRH(组 2)。术后,组 1 中尿失禁(p=0.02)、尿潴留(p=0.01)、粪便失禁(p=0.01)和便秘(p=0.01)的患者多于组 2。与 NSRH 相比,RH 后患者报告严重性功能障碍的比例更高(p=0.03)。两组患者的性高潮频率和性欲无差异;NSRH 后的整体生活质量评估更满意。
NSRH 可减少长期膀胱、结直肠和性功能并发症,具有更好的临床效果。与 RH 相比,NSRH 后的术后生活质量更好,总生存率相同。
