Patient satisfaction with results of hysterectomy
Article Abstract:
Most women who have a hysterectomy are satisfied with the outcome and report complete symptom relief. This was the conclusion of a survey of 1,299 women before and 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after the hysterectomy. Women who had to be re-admitted to the hospital for a surgical complication were least likely to be satisfied.
