Summary: | To compare perioperative and postoperative complications in patients who underwent opportunistic salpingectomy (OS) (removal of the fallopian tubes for ovarian cancer risk reduction during another surgery) at the time of cesarean section (C-section) with those in patients who underwent tubal ligation.
A population-based, retrospective cohort study.
British Columbia, Canada.
A total of 18,184 patients were included in this study, of whom 8,440 and 9,744 underwent OS and tubal ligation, respectively.
Patients who underwent OS during a C-section were compared with those who underwent tubal ligation during a C-section.
We examined the perioperative outcomes, including operating room time, length of hospital stay, surgical complications such as infections, anemia, incision complications, injury to a pelvic organ, or operating room return; postoperative complications, including physician visits for a postoperative infection or visits that resulted in ultrasound or laboratory examinations and hospital readmissions in the 6 weeks after discharge; and likelihood to fill a prescription for antibiotics or analgesics.
The OS group had decreased odds of perioperative complications compared with the tubal ligation group (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.77; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61–0.99). Patients who underwent OS did not have increased risks of physician visits for surgical complications, such as infection, or hospital readmissions in the 6 weeks after hospital discharge. In addition, these patients had 18% and 23% increased odds of filling prescriptions for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (aOR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.07–1.28) and opioids (aOR, 1.23%; 95% CI, 1.12–1.35), respectively.
In this population-based, real-world study of OS at C-section, we report decreased perioperative complications and no difference in postoperative complications between patients who underwent OS and those who underwent tubal ligation. Patients who underwent OS had an increased likelihood of filling a prescription for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids in the 6 weeks after hospital discharge. This result should be interpreted with caution because we did not have data on over-the-counter medication use and, thus, not all prescription analgesics were captured in our data. Our data suggest that OS after C-section is a safe way to provide effective contraception and ovarian cancer risk reduction.
Complicaciones después de la salpingectomía oportunista en comparación con la ligadura de trompas durante la cesárea: un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo.
comparar las complicaciones perioperatorias y postoperatorias en pacientes sometidas a salpingectomía oportunista (OS) (extirpación de las trompas de Falopio para reducir el riesgo de cáncer de ovario durante otra cirugía) en el momento de la cesárea (cesárea) con aquellas en pacientes sometidas a ligadura tubárica.
Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo de base poblacional.
Columbia Británica, Canadá.
En este estudio se incluyeron un total de 18.184 pacientes, de los cuales 8.440 y 9.744 se sometieron a OS y ligadura de trompas, respectivamente.
Las pacientes sometidas a OS durante una cesárea se compararon con aquellas que se sometieron a ligadura de trompas durante una cesárea.
examinamos los resultados perioperatorios, incluido el tiempo en el quirófano, la duración de la estancia hospitalaria, las complicaciones quirúrgicas como infecciones, anemia, complicaciones de la incisión, lesión de un órgano pélvico o regreso al quirófano; complicaciones posoperatorias, incluidas visitas al médico por una infección posoperatoria o visitas que resultaron en ultrasonido o exámenes de laboratorio y reingresos hospitalarios en las 6 semanas posteriores al alta; y probabilidad de surtir una receta de antibióticos o analgésicos.
El grupo OS tuvo menores probabilidades de complicaciones perioperatorias en comparación con el grupo de ligadura de trompas (razón de probabilidades ajustada [aOR], 0,77; intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95 %, 0,61–0,99). Las pacientes sometidas a OS no tuvieron mayores riesgos de visitas al médico por complicaciones quirúrgicas, como infección, o reingresos hospitalarios en las 6 semanas posteriores al alta hospitalaria. Además, estos pacientes tenían un 18 % y un 23 % más de probabilidades de surtir recetas de medicamentos antiinflamatorios no esteroides (aOR, 1,18; IC 95 %, 1,07–1,28) y opioides (aOR, 1,23 %; IC 95 %, 1,12–1,35). ), respectivamente.
En este estudio poblacional del mundo real sobre la OS en la cesárea, informamos una disminución de las complicaciones perioperatorias y ninguna diferencia en las complicaciones postoperatorias entre las pacientes que se sometieron a OS y aquellas que se sometieron a ligadura de trompas. Las pacientes sometidas a OS tuvieron una mayor probabilidad de obtener una receta por medicamentos antiinflamatorios no esteroides y opioides en las 6 semanas posteriores al alta hospitalaria. Este resultado debe interpretarse con cautela porque no teníamos datos sobre el uso de medicamentos de venta libre y, por lo tanto, no todos los analgésicos recetados se incluyeron en nuestros datos. Nuestros datos sugieren que la OS después de una cesárea es una forma segura de proporcionar anticoncepción eficaz y reducir el riesgo de cáncer de ovario. |
