Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE
To identify the incidence, type, and grade of postoperative adverse events in minimally invasive radical hysterectomy vs abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) for patients with early-stage cervical cancer and determine risk factors associated with these adverse events.
DESIGN
The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) was queried to identify patients with early-stage cervical cancer undergoing radical hysterectomy. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess risk factors associated with adverse postoperative outcomes among patients undergoing radical hysterectomy.
SETTING
ACS NSQIP participating institutions within the United States.
PATIENTS
Patients were collected from the ACS NSQIP databases (2014-2017) undergoing radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer.
INTERVENTIONS
N/A MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: ARH had a significantly increased incidence of any 30-day postoperative adverse event compared with minimally invasive radical hysterectomy (31.2% vs 19.9%, p <.001). There was a higher incidence of surgical site infection, both deep and superficial, and blood transfusions in ARH. On multivariable logistic regression, the abdominal surgical approach was the only risk factor significantly associated with any postoperative adverse event (odds ratio, 1.4; confidence interval, 1.1-1.9; p = .018; 95% CIs).
CONCLUSIONS
In this study, the abdominal surgical approach for radical hysterectomy in early-stage cervical cancer was associated with a higher incidence of postoperative adverse events than the minimally invasive approach.
