Abstract :

 INTRODUCTION : Emergency obstetrical hysterectomy (EOH) remains a life–saving procedure in cases of severe hemorrhage. With increasing number of primary cesarean sections its rate & indications are rapidly changing. OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence, risk factors, indications, feto–maternal outcomes of EOH performed in a tertiary teaching hospital and to identify avoidable factors. METHODS: The medical records of 52 patients who had undergone EOH, between January 2012 and December 2015 at GMC,kota were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: There were 52 EOHs out of 37,005 deliveries, a rate of 1.40 per 1,000 deliveries.The most common indication for EOH was uterine atony (34.62%), followed by morbidly adherent placenta (30.77%), rupture uterus (25%), and traumatic PPH (9.62%).Most common risk factors identified were previous cesarean section(s) and APH
