ABSTRACT

Background: in the recent years, vaginal hysterectomy has reemerged as a means for operating patients with diseases without uterine prolapse. There are some factors that can prescribe it; among them can be mentioned nulliparity.
Objective: a cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in nulliparous patients without uterine prolapse who underwent a vaginal hysterectomy at the Department of General Surgery of the Martin Chang Puga University Hospital in Nuevitas from May 1994 till May 2011. The sample was composed of 60 patients. For the analysis of the data, the descriptive (scouting) statistic was employed with the use of totals, percents, average and median, standard deviation, maximum and minimum.
Results: the average age was of 34 ±5.01 years. The youngest patient was 33 years old and the oldest 45 years old. The main surgical cause that motivated the intervention was the presence of uterine fibroids, followed by abnormal uterine hemorrhage. The postoperative complications were found in a limited number of patients. The average time of postoperative hospital stay was of 1.07±0.2 days. The average surgical time was of 39.6±7.20 minutes. The average time of reinstatement was of 20.4±5.2 days.
Conclusions: nulliparity is not an isolated or absolute factor to contraindicate the vaginal method in terms of hysterectomy.
