Background:
UVP is a significant Public Health Problem in Nepal. This problem is mainly prevalent in rural areas where the women are socio--economically less privileged and cannot afford the costs of treatment.
Objective:
An analysis of peri operative and post operative complications of vaginal hysterectomies for pelvic organ prolapse.
Materials And Methods:
A hospital based prospective study was carried out in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, NGMC followed up from the time of operation to time of discharge.
Results:
632 cases underwent vaginal hysterectomy with financial support from UNFPA. There were no operative complications. The most common post operative complications as noted were retention of urine, pelvic infection & pelvic abscess. In two cases laparotomy was done for haemoperitoneum. Pelvic abscess was drained vaginally. Mortality was nil.
Conclusion:
Proper screening before operation is the key to reduce operative as well as peri operative complications.
