Background:The present retrospective study was conducted for analyzing cases of hysterectomy. Materials & methods:The present study was undertaken for retrospectively analyzing the data of patients undergoing hysterectomy. Patients were identified by assessing medical record and charts. Complete clinical and demographic details of all the patients was obtained. Menopause was defined as one year since the last menstrual period. VH included laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) and AH (vaginal cases) included VH converted to AH unless otherwise noted. All complications that occurred during the surgery or within 30 days of surgery were recorded. All the results were recorded in Microsoft excel sheet and were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS software. Results:Abnormal uterine bleeding was the indication in 38 percent of the cases while leiomyomas and malignant neoplasm were the indication in 21 percent and 18 percent of the cases. Severe menstrual related mood disorder was the indication in 10 percent of the cases. Family history of cancer was the indication in 8 percent of the cases. Conclusion:Regardless of the method (abdominal, vaginal, or laparoscopic), hysterectomy is still the gold standard for treating a variety of benign pathological conditions affecting the uterus. However, we must support emerging techniques that leverage contemporary technologies, as their outcomes show promise and are frequently on par with hysterectomy.
