ABSTRACT
Abstract Objective To determine the indications and outcomes of peripartum hysterectomies performed at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (a university hospital in Southern Brazil) during the past 15 years, and to analyze the clinical characteristics of the women submitted to this procedure. Methods A cross-sectional study of 47 peripartum hysterectomies from 2005 to 2019. Results The peripartum hysterectomies performed in our hospital were indicated mainly due to placenta accreta or suspicion thereof (44.7% of the cases), puerperal hemorrhage without placenta accreta (27.7%), and infection (25.5%). Total hysterectomies accounted for 63.8% of the cases, andwefound no differencebetween total versus subtotal hysterectomies in the studied outcomes. Most hysterectomies were performed within 24 hours after delivery, and they were associated with placenta accreta, placenta previa, and older maternal age. Conclusion Most (66.0%) patients were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Those who did not need it were significantly older, and had more placenta accreta, placenta previa, or previous Cesarean delivery.
Resumo Objetivo Determinar as indicações e os desfechos das histerectomias periparto realizadas no Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre nos últimos 15 anos, bem como analisar as características clínicas das mulheres submetidas a esse procedimento. Métodos Estudo transversal de 47 histerectomias periparto realizadas no período de 2005 a 2019. Resultados Em nosso hospital, as histerectomias periparto foram indicadas principalmente por acretismo placentário ou sua suspeita (44,7% dos casos), hemorragia puerperal sem acretismo placentário (27,7%), e infecção (25,5%). Histerectomias totais corresponderam a 63,8% dos casos, e não encontramos diferença entre histerectomia total e subtotal para os desfechos estudados. Amaioria das histerectomias foi realizada dentro de 24 horas após o parto, o que estava associado a acretismo placentário, placenta prévia, e idade materna mais avançada. Conclusão A maioria (66,0%) das mulheres necessitou de internação em unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI); aquelas que não necessitaram eram significativamente mais velhas, e tinham mais acretismo placentário, placenta prévia, ou cesárea prévia.

Objetivos: Determinar la experiencia con histerectomía puerperal en una institución privada. Diseño: Estudio retrospectivo, serie de casos. Institución: Clínica Santa Isabel, Lima, Perú. Participantes: Puérperas inmediatas. Intervenciones: De un total de 15 201 nacimientos, se evaluó 16 pacientes con edades entre 29 y 42 años que tuvieron histerectomía puerperal (1,04 por mil nacimientos), entre el 1 de enero de 2000 y el 31 de diciembre de 2011. Principales medidas de resultados: Frecuencia, indicaciones y complicaciones de la histerectomía puerperal. Resultados: El 75% tuvo algún antecedente de instrumentación uterina, sea cesárea o legrado, siendo el procedimiento practicado en 12 casos durante la cesárea, tres en el posparto y una luego de legrado por parto inmaduro de 24 semanas. El 68,8% fue de emergencia y en un porcentaje igual se realizó histerectomía total. Las indicaciones más frecuentes fueron acretismo placentario en seis pacientes, atonía uterina en cinco y leiomiomatosis uterina en otras cinco, que fueron las intervenciones electivas. El tiempo operatorio osciló entre 65 y 170 minutos, con una media de 105 minutos; se realizó transfusiones sanguíneas en 9 pacientes (56,3%). No hubo lesiones de vía urinaria ni intestinales, ni casos de muerte materna. Conclusiones: En nuestra institución, la histerectomía puerperal mostró ser un procedimiento aparentemente seguro, con frecuencia, indicaciones y complicaciones muy similares a las encontradas en la literatura.
Objectives: To determine the experience with puerperal hysterectomy in a private institution. Design: Retrospective, series of cases study. Setting: Clinica Santa Isabel, Lima, Peru. Participants: Women in the immediate post partum. Interventions: Between January 1 2000 and December 31 2011, from 15 201 births attended sixteen 29-42 year-old patients with puerperal hysterectomy (1.04 per thousand births) were studied. Main outcome measures: Frequency, indications and complications of puerperal hysterectomy. Results: History of uterine instrumentation either cesarean section or dilatation and curettage was present in 75%, and the procedure was performed in 12 cases during the cesarean section, three in the post partum and one following dilatation and curettage for 24 weeks immature delivery. It was an emergency in 68.8% and in a similar percentage total hysterectomy was performed. Most frequent indications were placenta accreta in six patients, uterine atony in five and uterine leiomiomatosis in other five (elective interventions). Surgical time was 65-170 minutes, media 105 minutes; blood transfusions were indicated in 9 patients (56.3%). No urinary tract or intestinal tract lesions were reported, and there was no maternal death. Conclusions: Puerperal hysterectomy was an apparently safe procedure at our institution, and frequency, indications and complications were similar to literature reports.
