Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, rutin dren yerleştirilmesi ile benign durumlar için total laparoskopik histerektomi (TLH) geçiren hastaların perioperatif ve postoperatif sonuçlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Eylül 2022 ile Ağustos 2023 tarihleri arasında benign endikasyonlar için TLH geçiren doksan dokuz hasta üzerinde retrospektif bir inceleme yapılmıştır. Dışlama kriterleri arasında premalign veya malign patoloji, sezaryen dışındaki pelvik cerrahi öyküsü, sistemik komorbiditeler ve eksik veriler yer almaktadır. Tüm prosedürler, standart laparoskopik teknikler kullanılarak aynı cerrahi ekip tarafından gerçekleştirilmiştir. Toplanan veriler arasında demografik bilgiler, ameliyat süresi, hemoglobin (Hb) değişiklikleri, drenaj hacmi, drenaj tutma süresi, komplikasyonlar ve hastanede kalış süresi yer almaktadır.
Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşı 47,6 idi ve tedaviye dirençli uterus kanaması en yaygın cerrahi endikasyondu (hastaların %59'u). Ortalama ameliyat süresi 89 dakikaydı. Hb'deki ortalama düşüş 1,1 g/dL idi ve transfüzyon gerekmedi. Ortalama drenaj hacmi 68 mL idi ve sadece bir hastada 300 mL'yi aştı. Drenler genellikle ilk 24 saat içinde çıkarıldı. İki hastada (%2) majör komplikasyonlar meydana geldi: trokar bölgesi kanaması ve üreter yaralanması; her ikisi de dren bulguları sayesinde hemen tespit edildi ve tedavi edildi. Ortalama hastanede kalış süresi 1,3 gündü.
Sonuç: TLH sonrası rutin dren kullanımı genel morbiditeyi azaltmaz. Drenler nadir komplikasyonların erken teşhisini kolaylaştırsa da, düşük riskli vakalarda ek fayda sağlamaz ve hasta konforunu olumsuz etkileyebilir. Sonuç olarak, rutin dren kullanımı yerine seçici dren kullanımı daha uygun görünmektedir.

The Effect of Routine Drain Use After Benign Laparoscopic Hysterectomy on Morbidity

Abstract

Objective: This study sought to assess the perioperative and postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) for benign conditions, with routine drain placement.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on ninety-nine patients who underwent TLH for benign indications between September 2022 and August 2023. Exclusion criteria included patients with premalignant or malignant pathology, a history of pelvic surgery other than cesarean section, systemic comorbidities, and incomplete data. All procedures were performed by the same surgical team utilizing standard laparoscopic techniques. Data collected included demographic information, operation duration, hemoglobin (Hb) changes, drainage volume, drain retention time, complications, and length of hospital stay.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 47.6 years, with treatment-resistant uterine bleeding being the most common surgical indication (59% of patients). The mean operation time was 89 minutes. The average decrease in Hb was 1.1 g/dL, with no transfusions required. The mean drainage volume was 68 mL, with only one patient exceeding 300 mL. Drains were typically removed within the first 24 hours. Major complications occurred in two patients (2%): trocar site bleeding and ureteral injury, both of which were promptly identified and managed due to drain findings. The mean hospital stay was 1.3 days.
Conclusion: Routine drain use following TLH does not reduce overall morbidity. While drains facilitate early detection of rare complications, they do not confer additional benefits in low-risk cases and may adversely affect patient comfort. Consequently, selective rather than routine drain use appears more appropriate.
