Abstrakt: Objective: Compare quality of life metrics for consecutive patients having total laparoscopic hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TLHBSO) with and without comprehensive pelvic/aortic lymphadenectomy (CPALND) from proximal to the distal circumflex iliac nodes and vessels to the renal vessels.
Methods: Analysis of mailed survey responses with 25 validated questions regarding musculoskeletal/lower extremity, gastro-intestinal, abdominal, urological, and energetic/activities of daily living. Data analyzed with Chi-Square tests of Association, Mann-Whitney U tests and follow up regression analysis.
Results: Of 533 surveys mailed, 197 (37%) responded; 57 (28.9%) received CPALND. Age and parity were not different between groups, but the TLHBSO group had a higher BMI (31.4 v. 25.8, p<0.001), and were less likely to receive chemotherapy (CT), radiotherapy (RT), or both (CT+RT). In the CPALND cohort, a mean of 47 nodes were removed, of which 26% were positive: 21% pelvic, 11% inframesenteric, 11% infrarenal. Both groups had similar total quality of life total scores of 86/92. Those having CPALND did not report more swelling but they did report more tingling/numbness (2.8 v. 3.5, p<0.001). A series of hierarchical regressions confirmed that CPALND, per se, did not significantly reduce lower extremity scores apart from CT (p=0.402) and CT+RT (p=0.108). However, CPALND did predict for lower extremity swelling after receipt of CT, RT, or CT+RT. Node count, in total, or from each basin, did not correlate with any QOL decrement.
Conclusions: CPALND did not cause lymphedema or a reduction in overall quality of life. Only after controlling for BMI, and receipt of radiation and/or chemotherapy were QOL scores mildly reduced. Routine omission of the distal circumflex nodes from the dissection may account for the low risk of lymphedema from the dissection. Larger prospective studies are needed to determine the optimal staging protocols that address all the likely sites of metastasis and recurrence, and optimize survival, while maintaining our patients' quality of life.
