Investigating the Impact of Benign Indication Hysterectomy on Pelvic Floor Symptoms and Sexual Function: A Prospective Study Integrating Pelvic Floor Ultrasonography and Surface Electromyography Test.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This prospective study aimed to investigate the short-term effects of single-port laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign conditions on postoperative pelvic floor symptoms, pelvic floor structure, and pelvic floor muscle function.

Study design

The study was conducted at Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University, from May 2022 to September 2023. Patients who underwent elective single-port laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign conditions were recruited. Paired t-tests and non-parametric rank-sum tests were used to compare changes in pelvic floor function, female sexual function index (FSFI), 4D pelvic floor ultrasonography, and surface electromyography (sEMG) indicators between pre- and postoperative periods.

Results

A total of 71 participants were included, w
