Histopathological Analysis of Hysterectomy Materials in A Tertiary Hospital

Introduction: Hysterectomy, a frequently used surgical procedure in gynecology, entails the removal of a part or all of the uterus and is employed in treating various benign and malignant diseases. This study aims to evaluate the histopathological analyses of patients underwent hysterectomy in a tertiary hospital. Aim: This study aimed to investigate the histopathological analysis results of hysterectomy materials and compare them with clinical diagnoses. Methods: The clinical and histopathological data of 107 patients who underwent hysterectomy in a tertiary hospital between January and March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients' age, hysterectomy type, indication, histopathological diagnosis, and other clinical parameters were recorded. Results: Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) was the most preferred type of hysterectomy (n=62, %57.94) and patients’ age average was 49.83. Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and myoma uteri was the most prevalent reasons of hysterectomy (n=47, %47.66). While Leiomyoma was the most frequent diagnosis in myometrial lesions (n=52, %47.27), endometrial polyp stood out as the most frequent finding among endometrial lesions. (n=34, %31.77). Conclusion: This study revealed that the histopathological analysis results of hysterectomy materials were largely consistent with clinical diagnoses. AUB and myoma uteri were among the leading indications for hysterectomy. Endometrial polyp stood out as the most common diagnosis among endometrial lesions, whereas leiomyoma emerged as the predominant diagnosis among myometrial lesions.
