Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Term &amp;ldquo;hysterectomy&amp;rdquo; though means removal of uterus, in practice it has a much wider classification depending upon the indication. Aim of this study was to analyse indication, age prevalence, surgical approach &amp;amp; complication of hysterectomies at government tertiary care centre in Rajasthan, India. METHODS: Present study is carried out at J.K.Lon mother &amp;amp; child hospital, Government medical college Kota, Rajasthan. It involved all women who underwent hysterectomies in span of six month (from 1st march 2015 to 31st august 2015). RESULTS: Most common surgical approach was abdominal ie (66.6%) followed by vaginal (33.3%). Most common indication were dysfunctional uterine bleeding ( 30.9%) &amp;amp; utero vaginal prolapse ( 30.9%), Overall complication rate was 4.8%. CONCLUSION: The conditions that may lead to a hysterectomy cause discomfort and inconvenience rather than threaten life. Hysterectomy is the definitive treatment for dysfunctional uterine bleeding and utero vaginal prolapse patient in most studies it has a higher rate of patient satisfaction. Hysterectomy like any other surgical procedure is associated with risk of complications therefore indication should be carefully evaluated .&lt;/p&gt;</p>
