The effect of gynecological surgery on sexual desire.

This study compared the impact of surgery on sexual desire in women who had undergone hysterectomy with women whose nongynecological surgery was of a similar status. Women aged 30 to 65 completed mailed questionnaires including the Sexual Desire Questionnaire, Hurlbert Index of Sexual Desire, and the Sexual Desire Inventory. Other areas assessed were affect, mood awareness, sexual anxiety, and androgen levels. Analysis of the questionnaire measures showed no differences in sexual desire for gynecological versus nongynecological surgery, or across the different types of hysterectomy. There was no relation between the level of androgens and the women's sexual desire levels. The implications of these findings are discussed with regard to the potential impact of surgery on sexuality, as well as future research in the area.

[Experience with the use of the CO2 laser in reconstructive and plastic gynecologic surgery in patients with uterine myoma and endometriosis].

CO2 laser has been used during reconstructive plastic surgery for uterine myoma, endometriosis of various locations, and associated gynecologic conditions in 71 patients. Comparison in patients with uterine myoma who underwent conservative myomectomy with and without the use of CO2 laser showed that treatment with CO2 laser diminished blood loss and duration of the operation, and improved postoperative progress.

Gynecologic surgery in the aged.

Aged women, those over 75 years, experience a high incidence of nearly all gynecologic neoplasms as well as associated chronic medical illnesses. In this study, 773 women underwent major surgery, while 711 underwent minor procedures. Fifty-two patients (3.5%) were 75 years of age or older. Forty-three of the 52 (83%) had a total of 119 associated medical complications. Eighty-nine surgical procedures were performed. A total of 17 postoperative complications occurred in 15 patients. Thirty-eight patients (73%) had no postoperative complications. One patient died because of infarction of the bowel diagnosed within 30 days of her primary surgical procedure. The aged patients in this study did well postoperatively with routine preoperative medical evaluation and postoperative care. Same-day admission and surgery did not increase morbidity. Aged patients can safely undergo major pelvic and abdominal surgery at a community medical center if one manages their associated medical conditions in a routine manner similar to that utilized in younger patients with similar problems. The associated medical complications and not age per se should be the deciding factor.
