ABSTRACT

O carcinoma do colo uterino representa um importante problema de saúde pública. Mundialmente é a quarta maior causa de mortes por câncer, e no Brasil é a neoplasia mais frequente do trato genital feminino, sendo a segunda maior causa de morte por câncer em mulheres e a primeira de morte em mulheres em idade reprodutiva. Uma das formas de tratamento é a histerectomia radical, sendo que neste tratamento 70 por cento das mulheres apresentam disfunção vesical após o procedimento. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a relação de sintomas urinários pós-cirurgia. Foi realizado levantamento bibliográfico com publicações entre os anos de 1997 a 2007. Percebeu-se que sintomas urinários são cada vez mais frequentes após histerectomia radical e entre as causas a mais provável é a lesão nervosa durante o procedimento, prejudicando ainda mais a qualidade de vida destas pacientes. Sabendo-se disto, é de fundamental importância o acompanhamento multidisciplinar destas doentes, incluindo-se nesta equipe o fisioterapeuta, o qual poderá contribuir significantemente no tratamento proposto.


The carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a great public health problem. In the world, it is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths and in Brazil, it is the most common cancer of the female genital tract, and the second cause of cancer deaths in women and the first of death in women at reproductive age. One of the treatment methods is the radical hysterectomy. In this treatment, 70 percent of women present bladder dysfunction after surgery. The objective of the study was to examine the relation of urinary symptoms after radical hysterectomy for cancer of the cervix, and to examine the causes of the presence of urinary symptoms after surgery. The bibliographic survey was done on publications between the years of 1997 and 2007. It is possible to emphasize that urinary symptoms are increasingly frequent after radical hysterectomy. The disease itself undermines the physical, psychological and social well-being of the patient, and after the withdrawal of the uterus other consequences may appear, further damaging the quality of life of these patients. Bearing this in mind, it is a fundamental importance multidisciplinary monitoring of these patients, including in this team the physical therapist, who could contribute significantly in the proposed treatment.
