Abstract:

In recent decades, according to world statistics, there has been a significant increase in the incidence of gynecologic diseases in women of reproductive and perimenopausal age requiring surgical treatment. Despite the introduction of the latest technologies of surgical and medical treatment of gynecological diseases, the frequency of hysterectomies with removal or preservation of uterine appendages worldwide remains high. Taking into account the high social significance of recovery of women of late reproductive and perimenopausal age (child rearing, professional activity) who underwent organ-amputating surgery, this problem remains relevant for further reflection and more in-depth study.
