详细描述
Objective
To evaluate ultra long-term follow-up after subtotal and total hysterectomy in patients operated on during 1978-1979 in Turku University Hospital, Finland.
Methods: From the original cohort of 212 patients 193 were sent a postal questionnaire in 1997 to find out possible symptoms related to hysterectomy. Again in 2011 a questionnaire based evaluation with a possibility of a clinical visit to study hospital was done for 153 patients. In the first evaluation a self-made questionnaire and in the second evaluation validated questionnaires were used. During a follow-up visit a clinical examination using also POP-Q-system was done. Additionally, hospital records of the patients were reviewed to find out subsequent operations after hysterectomy.
