- Brief Summary
Due to short hospital stay, rapid return to work, less pain, and good cosmetic results, laparoscopic hysterectomy ( LH) has substantially increased the era of hysterectomy procedures especially for the last two decades. The main reason for this is probably that LH leads to fewer inflammatory responses when compared to open abdominal hysterectomy. Although the inflammatory response is supposed to be lower with total laparoscopic hysteroscopy (TLH), unpredictable inflammatory response as a result of the operation has been still unenlightened and it can be associated with hospital stay.
- Detailed Description
IInflammatory response after surgery is an ordinary outcome which ends up with tissue repair. The increase in neutrophil levels accompanied with a decrease in lymphocyte levels is characteristic for the inflammatory response. Therefore, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) comes out as a simple index of inflammation. In the literature, NLR was shown not only to be associated with surgical complications but also the length of hospital stays in certain surgeries. Another inflammatory marker index of hemogram is the platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR). As a result of endothelial tissue damage, platelets are gathered in the affected area. Therefore, an increase in the number of platelets is inevitable for inflammation. Hence, PLR appears to be another simple index of inflammation due to the increase of platelets and the decrease of lymphocytes. PLR has also shown to be associated with length of hospital stay in various surgeries. NLR and PLR are both newly recommended inflammatory markers to estimate the prognosis of surgical treatment in clinics. Investigations regarding NLR and PLR concerning prognosis of patients after surgeries including gynecological cancer, cardiac surgeries, and emergency surgeries are available in prior literature. Investigators aimed to investigate the possible effects of inflammatory parameters, that can be easily obtained from complete blood count in the post-operative first day of total laparoscopic hysterectomy, to the length of hospital stay in patients without any complications.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Postoperative PLR values compared in patients who were hospitalized for more than 3 days and equal to or less than 3 days. 4 years PLR were calculated by dividing the absolute number of platelets to the absolute number of lymphocytes.
Postoperative NLR values compared in patients who were hospitalized for more than 3 days and equal to or less than 3 days. 4 years NLR was calculated by dividing the absolute number of neutrophil to the absolute number of lymphocytes.
