Abstract

Introduction: Emergency Peripartum Hysterectomy (EPH) is a lifesaving surgical procedure that is associated with maternal mortality and morbidity, especially in developing countries. Worldwide, the rate of peripartum hysterectomy varies widely. Developing countries like India have higher incidence of EPH because more deliveries take place outside health facilities and are unsupervised or poorly supervised. The aim of this study was to find the incidence, indications, risk factors and clinical implications of EPH in a tertiary care referral centre of Jharkhand. Material
