Abstract
Study objective: To compare surgical outcomes among patients undergoing minimally invasive myomectomy (MIM) or abdominal myomectomy (AM) with MIGS subspecialists versus general obstetrician/gynecologists (OB/GYNs), and to characterize the complexity of myomectomies by surgeon type.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Quaternary care institution.
Participants: Patients who underwent MIM (laparoscopic or robotic) or AM with a fellowship-trained MIGS subspecialist or general OB/GYN from March 15, 2015 to March 14, 2020.
Interventions: Myomectomy.
Results: Of 609 myomectomies, 460 (75.5%) were MIM, 404 (87.8%) of which were performed by MIGS subspecialists. The remaining 149 (24.5%) cases were AM, 36 (24.1%) of which were performed by MIGS subspecialists. Compared to general OB/GYNs, MIGS subspecialists excised a greater number of fibroids for both MIM (median 3.0 [range 1.0-30.0] vs 2.0 [1.0-9.0], p <.001) and AM (21.0 [10.0-60.0] vs 6.0 [1.0-42.0], p <.001), and had a greater proportion of uteri >20 weeks size for AM (22.2% vs 3.5%, p = .003). Composite perioperative complication rates were significantly higher for general OB/GYNs than for MIGS subspecialists (29.0% vs 11.8%, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.48-4.92). In a subgroup analysis of MIM only, general OB/GYNs had higher rates of composite perioperative complications (28.6% vs 9.9%, aOR 4.51, 95% CI 2.27-8.97), excessive blood loss and/or transfusion (10.7% vs 3.0%, unadjusted odds ratio [OR] 3.92, 95% CI 1.41-10.91), surgery time ≥ 90th percentile (25.0% vs 8.9%, aOR 5.05, 95% CI 2.39-10.64), and conversions to laparotomy (10.7% vs 0.2%, unadjusted OR 48.36, 95% CI 5.71-409.93). For AM only, there were no significant differences in perioperative complication rates between groups.
Conclusion: Fellowship-trained MIGS subspecialists had improved surgical outcomes for MIM compared to general OB/GYNs, with fewer conversions to laparotomy, reduced surgery time, and less blood loss, while outcomes for AM were similar by surgeon type. MIGS subspecialists excised a greater number of fibroids regardless of surgical approach, highlighting a level of comfort in complex benign gynecology beyond endoscopic surgery at our institution.
研究目的:比较微创子宫肌瘤切除术(MIM)或腹部子宫肌瘤切除术(AM)患者与MIGS亚专科医生和普通妇产科医生(OB/GYNs)的手术效果,并按外科医生类型描述子宫肌瘤切除术的复杂性。设计:回顾性队列研究。环境:四级护理机构。参与者:2015年3月15日至2020年3月14日期间接受MIM(腹腔镜或机器人)或AM(由奖学金培训的MIGS专科医生或普通妇产科医生)的患者。干预措施:肌瘤切除术。结果:609例子宫肌瘤切除术中,460例(75.5%)为MIM, 404例(87.8%)为mis亚专科。其余149例(24.5%)为AM,其中36例(24.1%)由MIGS专科医生执行。与普通妇产科医生相比,MIM(中位数3.0[范围1.0-30.0])和AM(中位数2.0[1.0-9.0])的子宫肌瘤切除数量都更多(中位数3.0[范围1.0-30.0]),AM的子宫肌瘤大小为p20周(22.2%对3.5%,p= 0.003)。综合围手术期并发症发生率,普通妇产科医生明显高于MIGS专科医生(29.0% vs 11.8%,调整优势比[aOR] 2.70, 95%可信区间[CI] 1.48-4.92)。在仅MIM的亚组分析中,普通OB/ gyn的围手术期复合并发症发生率更高(28.6%比9.9%,aOR 4.51, 95% CI 2.27-8.97),过多失血和/或输血(10.7%比3.0%,未经调整的优势比[or] 3.92, 95% CI 1.41-10.91),手术时间≥90%(25.0%比8.9%,aOR 5.05, 95% CI 2.39-10.64),转行剖腹手术(10.7%比0.2%,未经调整的or 48.36, 95% CI 5.71-409.93)。仅AM组围手术期并发症发生率组间差异无统计学意义。结论:与普通妇产科医生相比,接受过研究金培训的MIGS专科医生的MIM手术效果更好,转开腹手术次数更少,手术时间更短,出血量更少,而AM的手术效果与外科医生类型相似。无论采用何种手术方式,MIGS专科医生都切除了更多的肌瘤,突出了我们机构在内窥镜手术之外的复杂良性妇科手术的舒适度。
