A hysterectomy is performed for a variety of indications, including uterine cancer, postpartum hemorrhage, fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, and endometriosis. It is most commonly performed laparoscopically, and is increasingly an outpatient procedure.[1] It is the second-most common gynecological surgical procedure after cesarean section in the United States[2], and it is frequently performed alongside other procedures including bilateral salpingo-oophrectomy and pelvic/paraaortic lymph node dissection.[3]
Hysterectomy
| Anesthesia type |
General |
|---|---|
| Airway |
Endotracheal tube |
| Lines and access |
Peripheral IV |
| Monitors |
Standard ASA 5 lead EKG |
| Primary anesthetic considerations | |
| Preoperative |
Type and cross patients at risk for hemorrhage, consider ordering blood |

Preoperative management
Patient evaluation
| System | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Neurologic | |
| Cardiovascular | |
| Respiratory | Many gynecological tumors are associated with cigarette smoking, assess for preexisting lung disease |
| Gastrointestinal | |
| Hematologic | Patients with abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroids frequently have chronic anemia |
| Renal | |
| Endocrine | |
| Labs | Type and cross all patients
CBC in chronic anemia |
Patient preparation and premedication
- Midazolam
- Consider scopolamine patch in young women at high risk for PONV
Regional and neuraxial techniques
- Spinal or epidural can be considered in open approach
Intraoperative management
Monitoring and access
- Standard ASA monitors
- 5-lead EKG
- Urinary catheter
- 1-2 peripheral IVs (16-18 gauge)
- In hemorrhaging patients, consider arterial line and central access
Induction and airway management
- Standard induction
- In unstable patients including hemorrhaging patients, consider etomidate (BP control) and rapid sequence intubation (RSI)
Positioning
- Dorsal lithotomy position, arms tucked
Maintenance and surgical considerations
- Intraoperative insufflation may cause:
- Resp: atelectasis, decrease FRC, increase PIPs, and increase CO2. May also cause endobronchial intubation
- GI: gastric content regurgitation
- Cardiac: decreased cardiac output
Emergence
- PONV prophylaxis, especially in young women at higher risk
Postoperative management
Disposition
- PACU
Pain management
- NSAIDs, acetaminophen for mild pain
- Opioids for breakthrough pain. Consider PCA for open cases
Potential complications
- PONV
- Conversion to laparotomy (3.9%)
- Urinary tract injury
- Bowel injury
- Vaginal cuff dehiscence
- Hemorrhage
Procedure variants
