Obstetrical hysterectomy, a life-saving but mutilating procedure, was performed in 0.45% of deliveries due to severe complications like hemorrhage and infection. Early referral programs are crucial to prevent this surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Maternal Health

Context:

  • Obstetrical hysterectomy is a rare but critical surgical intervention.
  • This retrospective study analyzed 35 cases over a 22-month period (January 1994 - October 1995).
  • The procedure was performed in 0.45% of all in-hospital deliveries.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the frequency, indications, and outcomes of obstetrical hysterectomy.
  • To identify risk factors and potential preventive strategies for this major surgery.

Summary:

  • The study included 35 women with a mean age of 31 and parity of 7.
  • A significant majority (77.5%) were referred from other hospitals after failed natural deliveries.
  • Uncontrolled hemorrhage (71.7%) and infection (25.8%) were the primary indications for hysterectomy.

  • Sub-total hysterectomy was the predominant type (82.8%).
  • Maternal mortality associated with the procedure was high at 20%.

    • Impact:

    • Obstetrical hysterectomy, while mutilating, is a life-saving measure for severe pregnancy or delivery complications.
    • The findings underscore the critical need for an effective early obstetrical referral system to prevent such drastic interventions.
