Hysterectomy for postpartum hemorrhage is vital, with placenta accreta being the primary reason. Both total and subtotal hysterectomy approaches show comparable complication risks.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Management
  • Maternal Health

Background:

  • Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a significant obstetric emergency.
  • Hysterectomy serves as a life-saving measure for severe PPH unresponsive to other treatments.
  • Understanding risk factors and outcomes of hysterectomy for PPH is crucial for clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify risk factors, indications, and complications associated with hemostasis hysterectomy.
  • To determine factors influencing the choice between total and subtotal hysterectomy.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of hysterectomy in managing severe postpartum hemorrhage.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective descriptive and analytical study was conducted.
  • Data were collected from 2003 to 2019 at a single institution.

  • Patients were categorized based on the type of hysterectomy performed: total or subtotal.

    • Main Results:

    • The study included seventy patients, with a hysterectomy rate of 1.3% for PPH.
    • Placenta accreta (39%), uterine inertia (34%), and uterine rupture (16%) were the leading indications.
    • Perioperative morbidity was 34%, with hemorrhagic shock being the most common complication; maternal mortality was 8%.

    Conclusions:

    • Hysterectomy is an essential intervention for managing severe PPH.
    • Placenta accreta is the predominant indication for hysterectomy in this context.
    • Total hysterectomy did not demonstrate an increased risk of complications compared to subtotal hysterectomy.
