[Analysis of 1,000 hysterectomies. Technical simplifications and reflections. ISSSTE hospitals].

1,000 hysterectomies are reported by the author in a space of 20 years in four hospitals of ISSSTE. Some clinic-pathological parameters were analyzed, morbi-mortality, etc. The obtained results are informed using a simplification on the surgical techniques. The most frequent symptoms were menstrual disorders, and the most frequent diagnosis was myomatosis with (61.2%) average age between 35-45 years old. All were total hysterectomies, intrafascial 92.6% and abdominal 74.8%. Attention is called upon the fact that 7.2% of the patients presented pelvic congestion post tubaric occlusion and the association of adenomyosis. The overall morbidity was 12.2% being urosepsis the most frequent. Mortality was in one case of giant interligamentary myoma and DIC. Blood transfusion was needed just in 4.2%. We think that the surgical simplification here announced offer more safety, less morbidity, less bleeding and brief surgical time. More over, a critical analysis was made about use and abuse of this kind of surgical intervention.
