Obstetric hysterectomy is a critical procedure for managing complicated pregnancies. While no deaths occurred, significant morbidity highlights the need for careful patient selection and surgical technique.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Management
  • Maternal Health

Context:

  • Analysis of obstetric hysterectomy cases for complicated pregnancies, deliveries, and puerperal periods.
  • Focus on current management strategies and outcomes in a selected patient group.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the risks and outcomes associated with obstetric hysterectomy.
  • To identify factors influencing morbidity in patients undergoing this procedure.

Summary:

  • A study of obstetric hysterectomy cases revealed no mortality but 65.21% morbidity.
  • Risk factors identified include advanced maternal age, pregnancy complications, high parity, and specific types of morbidity.
  • Surgical history, such as previous Cesarean sections, did not correlate with increased morbidity in this series.
