Hysterectomy is the commonest major surgical procedure in Gynaecology & usually performed to improve quality of life rather than to cure life-threatening conditions. The rates differ between countries depending on differences in morbidity, health economical aspects, traditions and attitudes. This retrospective observational study was carried out from 2001-2010 & included all cases of abdominal hysterectomy done for benign and non emergency conditions in the department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College and Hospital, Dhaka with the intention to assess the proportion and the indications of total abdominal hysterectomy over a 10-year period. Percentage of the total abdominal hysterectomy remained between 50-70% of the total major operations over the decade. Fibroid was found to be the most common indication among the admitted patients (around 36%) with highest percetage in 2006 and 2007 (43% and 46% respectively). Next important indication was dysfunctional uterine bleeding (20%) followed by pelvic inflammatory disease (13%), ovarian mass (5%), endometriosis & adenomyosis (4%) and post menopausal bleeding (2%). The majority of hysterectomies were abdominal and the most common indication was uterine fibroids. The overall rate for hysterectomy remained reasonably stable.Bangladesh Med J. 2015 May; 44 (2): 87-91

Most of the hospitalized patients are anaemic to some degree in our country and sometimes need blood transfusion. Complications of blood transfusion are rare but can be life-threatening. Since 2005, it has been a legal requirement that all serious adverse reactions attributable to the safety or quality of blood transfusion are reported. Most reported complications are because of transfusion of mismatched blood products and are avoidable with proper vigilance. A 45 year old female who underwent salpingo-oophorectomy with total abdominal hysterectomy for torsion of ovarian cyst and was transfused one unit of blood peroperatively. Blood grouping was accidentally incorrect and cross matching was not done. This mismatched blood transfusion resulted in acute renal failure. Patient was referred from the private hospital to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka and was managed by forced alkaline diuresis and later, haemodialysis. Key words: Mismatched blood transfusion; haemolytic transfusion reactionDOI: 10.3329/jdmc.v19i2.7089J Dhaka Med Coll. 2010; 19(2) : 154-157

Background: Most frequently performed gynaecological surgery is hysterectomy. The prevalence of hysterectomy varies within different regions. There are mainly two types of hysterectomies according to which part of uterus is removed. The main types of hysterectomy are total and subtotal or partial hysterectomy. The hysterectomy can be performed by three routes abdominal, laproscopic and vaginal hysterectomy. The main objective of our study is to know most common pathology and different age groups of the patients underwent hysterectomy. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study was carried during period 6 months, at GCS medical college, hospital and research centre, Ahmedabad. Total 100 hysterectomy specimens were analyzed for histopathological lesions. We had taken the clinical and histopathological findings of these cases from the records of department of pathology, GCS medical college , hospital and research centre. Results: In our study of 100 cases, most common age group underwent hysterectomy was 40-49 years and least common age group was 20-29 years. Type of hysterectomy performed most commonly in this study was total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophorectomy. Most of lesions were seen in the myometrium 42 cases (42%), Endometrium 32 cases (32%), Cervix 16 cases (16%) and Ovary 10 cases (10%). Hysterectomy remains the widely used treatment modality.

A cross sectional prospective study was done on 104 patients admitted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College Hospital during specific period of one year. The practice of hysterectomy dates back to the middle of 19th century following myomectomy. The indications for hysterectomy were to save life of the patient, relieve sufferings or to correct deformity of organs. Pre-tested structured clinical data sheet was used to obtain necessary data along with records of histopathological reports. The patients who undergone abdominal hysterectomy were mostly between the age 41 to 45 years with Inclusion criteria of Leiomyoma, dysfunctional uterine bleeding. chronic cervicitis, adenomyosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical polyp, post-menopausal bleeding, pelvic endometriosis, choriocarcinoma and ovarian cyst. Most frequent indication was leiomyoma and the chief complain was menorrhagia. Both ovaries had to be removed in most of the patients (72) out of total 104 cases. In some cases one ovary was preserved as per clinical indications. The complications of hysterectomy in present study was found 24% which was much lower than the other studies done earlier as 37% and 35%14. This finding may be due to increased use of prophylactic antibiotic, surgical techniques and improvement of overall aseptic and antiseptic measures taken pre, per and post operative period.

Background: Hysterectomy has always been a subject of controversy in India and increasing rate of unnecessary hysterectomies in young, premenopausal women is cause for concern regarding women’s health and rights. The aim of this study is to review and analyse cases of hysterectomy in a rural population and to correlate with underlying factors behind seeking hysterectomy as a treatment of choice for pelvic pathologies.Methods: This was an ambidirectional observational descriptive study in which 352 women were included who underwent hysterectomy between January 2016 to July 2017 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Government Medical College Rajnandgaon and a tertiary care referral hospital of central Chhattisgarh, India.Results: Majority were between 31-50 years of age group, grandmultipara, uneducated, insured by National health insurance scheme.76.1% patients had attended medical college hospital to avail free services. 60.5% took prior treatment from unqualified/ unregistered/registered general practitioners. Erratic use /use of suboptimal dosage of hormones to stop abnormal uterine bleeding, nonspecific antibiotics to treat infection, incomplete treatment and poor compliance were possible reasons behind failure of previous treatments. Abnormal menstruation was the commonest presenting complaint observed in 75.2%. 72.4% patients refused to come for follow up and reasons were unavailability of transport facility, fear of losing job, loss of daily wages and financial constraints. Commonest indication for hysterectomy was symptomatic fibroid in 32.0%. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was the most common procedure done in 59.0%. The rate of hysterectomy came out to be 57.6% which is quite higher than that reported in other studies. Fever was the most common complication encountered in 0.80%.Conclusions: Despite the remarkable improvement in conservative management and media coverage, hysterectomy still remains the most preferred modality of treatment with excellent satisfaction for pelvic pathologies in rural India.

Background and purpose: Although phase-contrast MR angiography (MRA) provides some information regarding hemodynamics of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), but mos t Conventional MR angiographic techniques have not been helpful in this respect. We attempted to determine the value of MR digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in assessing AVM hemodynamics. Soin this retrospective observational study was carried out to compare MRA and DSA in diagnosis of cerebral AVM. Methods and materials: It was a retrospective observational study conducted in the Department of Neurology Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Dhaka during the period of January 2010 to December 2010. Thirty patients with haemorrhagic stroke age ranging from 13 to 65 years were selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria as the study sample. MRA and DSA were done in all the selected patients. Results: The mean age of the patients of haemorrhagic stroke was 30.3±14.3years and male female ratio was 2.7:1.The venous drainage of AVM 13 and 12 were superficial and deep respectively evaluated 100% by MRA. In the diagnosis of cerebral AVM  nidussize S1<3, S2:6 cm sensitivity 100% but accuracy 100% and 73.3% respectively. Sensitivity 33.3% found in diagnosis of cerebral AVM nidus size S3:>6cm, 100% sensitive in the diagnosis of superficial and deep venous drainage AVM. Regarding the eloquence of brain area 15 was no eloquence by both MRA and DSA and identification of eloquence of brain area sensitivity 73.3% and accuracy 86.7%.The feeding vessels main vessels was found 22(73.3%) in both DSA and MRA findings. Distal vessels was seen 8(26.7%) in DSA but not seen in MRA findings. Intranidal aneurysm and Angiopathic AVM were seen 3(10.0%) and 4(13.3%) respectively in DSA, Conclusion: This study was carried out to diagnose the patients presented with cerebral AVM by MRA and DSA. MRA could not be evaluated flow status of AVM, distal feeding arteries, intranidal aneurysm and angiopathic AVM which could be detected by DSA. So, DSA is superior to MRA in diagnosis of cerebral AVM. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmed.v24i2.18699 Bangladesh J Medicine 2013; 24 : 51-58

Although leiomyomas are the most common pelvic tumors presenting in the reproductive age group, cervical fibroids are rare accounting for 2% of all uterine fibroids. We report a case of 40 year old lady presenting with a firm, non-tender mass of 22-24 weeks size pregnant uterus with restricted mobility. Laparotomy showed a large mass arising from the anterior lip of cervix, with a small uterus pushed posteriorly. Enucleation followed by total abdominal hysterectomy was done. Large cervical fibroids are rare, presenting with surgical difficulties. Careful dissection by expert hands is needed in the management of such cases.

Pyomyoma, or suppurative leiomyoma, is a rare but serious complication of uterine fibroids. The mechanism of pyomyoma is an infection caused by microorganisms coming from ascending or hematogenously on the ground of necrosis following ischemia and infarction. It can be seen during the course of pregnancy or after abortion and birth. It can also develop after uterine instrumentation or due to cervical stenosis. Patients often present with pain and fever. It should be considered in cases had no other etiology of fever and had a history of uterine fibroids. Diagnosis and treatment are often delayed due to non-specific presentation and imaging findings. This delay increases the risk of mortality and morbidity such as fertility loss. In the vast majority of these cases, total abdominal hysterectomy is required. The case we presented is a premenopausal and sexually inactive woman without any history of pregnancy or uterine instrumentation or immunocompromised. This patient is the 5th case of pyomyoma without risk factor and the 3rd case that was successfully treated with myomectomy. Knowing the proper treatment of pyomyoma will be beneficial to prevent potential mortality and morbidity.

Background: Fibroids are the most common benign tumours of smooth muscle cells of uterus in females and typically found during the middle and later reproductive years. As fibroid is an estrogen and progesterone dependent tumour, it gradually decreases in size during starting of menopause. The objective of this presented study was to determine management options among fibroid uterus patients. Methods: 50 number of patients were included in this study those who’s age of 20-55, with symptomatic uterine fibroid and undergone hysterectomy or myomectomy. Postmenopausal, Pregnancy and Asymptomatic fibroid were excluded from this study. Results: The study showed that 52 percent of patient having fibroid uterus were belonged to 31-40 years of age. The mean age was 41.2±6.07. The majority 74% of patients in this study presented with menstrual abnormalities, 40% presented with abdominal lump. Dysmenorrhoea was 26%, 6% patient had primary subfertility and 14% secondary subfertility. Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) with unilateral salpingo- oophorectomy done in 10% cases, TAH with bilateral salpino-oophorectomy in 22% cases, non descent vaginal hysterectomy in 6% cases, myomectomy done in 20% cases and polypectomy was done in 2% cases. Conclusion: Uterine fibroids are very common in women and frequently in late reproductive and perimenopausal years. It is also a common gynecological problem in our country, which frequently disturbs the lives of woman. Women now have choice of therapies for the treatment of fibroids.
