Abstract

Hemostasis hysterectomy is a mutilating technique responsible for definitive side effect on the woman's fertility. The aim was to document to document hemostasis hysterectomies performed in obstetrics units of university hospitals in Côte d'Ivoire. This was a retrospective, cross-sectional, and descriptive study from January 2013 to January 2018 in the three university hospital centers of Abidjan. It involved all parturients of the said university hospital centers who presented a severe postpartum hemorrhage and in whom a hemostasis hysterectomy was performed. The overall frequency of hemostasis hysterectomy in the three university hospitals was 0.32%. The most common etiologies were atony and uterine rupture. Hemostasis hysterectomy was indicated immediately. The deaths recorded were most often intraoperative and in the immediate postoperative period. The reduction of its incidence requires a good surveillance of the third period of delivery. (Afr J Reprod Health 2023; 27 [3]: 40-46).
