Dr. Mayuri Gohil, Dr. Shweta Amarneel

Abstract :

 Hysterectomy is the most commonly performed gynaecological surgery throughout the world.The study is done to identify the most common pathology in hysterectomy specimens and to correlate the clinical diagnosis and histopathological diagnosis in the Pathology Department, Government Medical College, Bhavnagar over a period of May 2012 to April 2015. Each hysterectomised specimen were processed, histopathological diagnosis made and correlated with clinical diagnosis, age, indication for surgery and the surgical approach used.Out of 620 cases, the peak age of hysterectomy was 45–55 years. The commonest indication for hysterectomy was uterovaginal prolapse followed by fioid. The most common pathology which was identified was leiomyoma followed by adenomyosis. The histopathological confirmation of the pre–operative diagnosis was 97%. A majority of the cases which were pre–operatively diagnosed as Dysfunctional uterine bleeding were found to have adenomyosis. Histopathological diagnosis was found to be the gold standard to ensure the final diagnosis as the management of the malignant disease varied in the benign and malignant diseases.
