Vaginal versus transabdominal hysterectomy: is mode of hysterectomy to influence pelvic statics or is pelvic statics to influence mode of hysterectomy?
The results of our study allow us to confirm our starting hypothesis. Statistical analysis highlights that preoperative data are significantly different for the three types of hysterectomies, both as urethral mobility values (analysis of variance P<or=0.0001) and as relative frequency of patients at higher risk of pelvic statics alterations (chi2 test P<or=0.0001).
We demonstrate a role for CO and HO in the regulation of normal and cirrhotic microcirculation. These findings are of importance in the pathophysiology of portal hypertension and establish CO/HO as novel treatment targets.
