Abstract
Background: Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure carried out all over the world for numerous benign and malignant gynecologic conditions like fibroid uterus, abnormal uterine bleeding( AUB), carcinoma cervix, carcinoma endometrium, and ovary. This study aims to determine the proportion of hysterectomies done for pelvic organ prolapse at a tertiary care rural institute.
Methods: This is a hospital-based descriptive study of 269 cases of hysterectomies conducted in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology for a period of one year.
Results: Out of the 269 hysterectomies performed, the mean age for hysterectomy was found to be 46 years, mean parity was 3. 157(58.36%) hysterectomies were performed through the abdominal route while 110(40.89%), by vaginal route. The most common indication for hysterectomy was AUB in 138(51.36%) cases, followed by pelvic prolapse in 103(38.28%) cases.
Conclusion: Calculating the proportion of hysterectomies performed at the department will help to know the demographic gynecological health issues burden and in mapping out schemes to make affordable health care easily accessible to the rural population.
