Objective: The purpose of the review was to evaluate and compare outcomes after total or subtotal hysterectomy in women with endometriosis or adenomyosis. Methods: We searched four electronic databases: Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science (WoS). The first aim of the study was to compare outcomes after total and subtotal hysterectomy in women with endometriosis, and the second aim was to compare the two procedures in women with adenomyosis. Publications that reported short- and long-term outcomes after total and subtotal hysterectomy were included in the review. The search was not subject to any limitation in terms of time or method. Results: After screening 4948 records, we included 35 studies published from 1988 to 2021; the studies were based on various methodologies. With regard to the first aim of the review, we found 32 eligible studies and divided these into the following four categories: postoperative short- and long-term outcomes, recurrence of endometriosis, quality of life and sexual function, and patient satisfaction after total or subtotal hysterectomy in women with endometriosis. Five investigations were deemed eligible for the second aim of the review. No differences were seen in terms of postoperative short- and long-term outcomes after subtotal or total hysterectomy in women with endometriosis or adenomyosis. Conclusions: Preservation or removal of the cervix in women with endometriosis or adenomyosis appears to have no effect on short- or long-term outcomes, recurrence of endometriosis, quality of life and sexual function, or patient satisfaction. Nevertheless, we lack randomized blinded controlled trials on these aspects. Such trials will be needed to enhance our comprehension of both surgical approaches.
