Abstract
Objectives: To assess the effect of abdominal hysterectomy on urinary functions and to compare subtotal and total abdom-inal hysterectomy as regard urinary functions.
Study Design: Prospective study.
Patients and Methods: We randomized 50 Egyptian fe-males candidate for hysterectomy for benign conditions to do subtotal or total abdominal hysterectomy. We assessed urinary symptoms, physical examination and urodynamic evaluation preoperatively and six months postoperative.
Results: There was no significant difference between subtotal and total abdominal hysterectomy as regard urinary functions.
Conclusion: Hysterectomy, whether total or subtotal, did not adversely affect urinary bladder function. Thus, we cannot depend on the effect of hysterectomy on urinary functions as a matter of preference of total or subtotal type of the operation.
