Operative outcome following vaginal hysterectomy

The peri-operative factors surrounding the patient subjected to vaginal hysterectomy were reviewed. Most of the patients were post-menopausal, and the indication for surgery in all cases was utero-vaginal descent. Regional anaesthesia was associated with less blood loss, while lower blood losses were associated with fewer complications and shorter hospitalization. Overall, the morbidity was low (8%), and the mortality was zero.
