ABSTRACT
Aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence, maternal morbidity & mortality, clinical features, management in cases of septic abortion in a tertiary centre. This study included 37 cases of septic abortion admitted during 5 years from January 2007 to January 2012 in the Department of obstetrics & Gynaecology in Government Medical College, Haldwani. All patients were evaluated with special reference to incidence, etiological factors, clinical features, surgery & maternal morbidity & mortality. The incidence of septic abortion was 1.08%. Common age group was between 26-30 years. Most of the cases were from lower socioeconomic status. Septic abortion following spontaneous abortion was present in 5 cases. Unwanted pregnancy was the indication for termination of pregnancy in 32 cases. 4 women were admitted in state of septic shock. 12 cases required lapratomy for drainage of pus, 3 had hysterectomy, 3 had resection anastomosis & uterus repair was done in 4 cases. Overall maternal mortality was 5 (13.5%).The incidence of illegal and septic abortion can be reduced by increasing awareness about family planning services and making legal abortion services easily available to the women and that too at a cheaper cost.
