ABSTRACT

[1] To audit cases of abdominal hysterectomy performed by post graduate tainees. [2] To evaluate mortality and morbidity rate. An observational Study. Department of Obstetrics and gynaecology, Allied Hospital Faisalabad. From 01-01-2005 to 30-06-2006. 120 cases of abdominal hysterectomies done for non obstetric and benign gynaecological conditions were selected for study. The most common indications for hysterectomy was DUB [43.3%]. Overall intra operative complications developed in 5 patients [4.1%]. Post operative complications developed in 9 patients [7.5%]. The mean duration of hospital stay was 5.5 days. No case of death was recorded in the study. This study demonstrates that abdominal hysterectomy can be safely done even during the learning curve of the post graduate trainees with the low complication rate, shorter hospital stay and without significant mortality
