Background: Hysterectomy is the most common gynaecological procedure performed worldwide. Abdominal hysterectomy remains the most common approach though recently there has been preference towards laparoscopic hysterectomy. Fibroid uterus is the most common indication for hysterectomy followed by pelvic organ prolapse, benign ovarian tumour and abnormal uterine bleeding. The objective of this study was to analyse the indication, outcome and correlate the clinical indication with the histopathological diagnosis.Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, from January 2017 to December 2019. This is a descriptive analysis of the patients who had undergone abdominal hysterectomy during the study period.Results: A total of 801 patients underwent abdominal hysterectomy and the most common indication was fibroid uterus (n=391, 48.81%), followed by abnormal uterine bleeding. The total complication rate was 3.24% (n=26) and we had one (0.1%) mortality. Histopathological analysis of the specimen revealed leiomyoma (54.43%) as the most common finding. The clinical indication and histopathological diagnosis matched in 373 (86.94%) patients.Conclusions: Abdominal hysterectomy is the most common approach and it is associated with risk of complications, so the indication for hysterectomy should be adequately evaluated. With the improvement in the different organ-preserving options, hysterectomy in benign disease should only be opted when all the other conservative options fails.

Background: Abnormal vaginal bleeding may be caused by an extensive spectrum of disorders, both gynecologic and non-gynecologic. Diagnostic accuracy of abnormal uterine bleeding is important for the management.  Trans vaginal sonography (TVS) is one of the commonest investigation used for the diagnosis, but the diagnosis is not always accurate for all clinical conditions. Saline instillation sonography (SIS) has been shown to improve the diagnosis. Authors aimed to compare the TVS and SIS diagnosis with the final histopathological diagnosis.Methods: Seventy-five patients with the complained of abnormal uterine bleeding attending outpatient department of a tertiary care institute were enrolled for the study. Trans vaginal sonography (TVS) and saline instillation sonography (SIS) was done on outpatient basis. The diagnosis was compared with final histopathological diagnosis, in term of diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value.Results: Seventy-five patients who were enrolled for the study. Sixty-four patients underwent surgery and final histopathological diagnosis was established. Four patients SIS was not possible, data was analysed for sixty patients.Conclusions: In SIS abnormal uterus diagnosis confidence was significantly improved (p value 0.001) when compared to TVS. The diagnosis of submucous myoma significantly improved (p=0.015) by SIS when compared to TVS. There was no significant difference between TVS and SIS diagnosis of Myoma remote from the endometrium (p=0.522), Adenomyosis (p=1), Focal endometrial abnormality (p=0.654) and Diffuse endometrial abnormality (p=1). The SIS sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were either improved or same, when compare to TVS for all the diagnosis except for the diagnosis of focal endometrial abnormality.

Abstract Aims & objectives: 1) To study the accuracy of hysteroscopy in evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. 2) To correlate hysteroscopic findings with histopathologic results. Materials and methods: It is a retrospective study done in the department of OBG at K. S.Hegde Medical Academy, Mangalore. All patients who underwent diagnostic hysteroscopy for abnormal uterine bleeding in the past 6 years were included in this study. Patients underwent clinical and sonographical evaluation. Following hysteroscopic evaluation, patients had undergone dilatation and curettage and endometrial curetting were sent for histopathological examination (HPE). The correlation between findings on hysteroscopy & HPE were tabulated. Results: On hysteroscopy, endometrium was classified as suggestive of normal, hyperplasia, atrophic, polyp, fibroid, cancer. Histopathological diagnosis was taken as gold standard to determine the efficacy of hysteroscopy in diagnosing endometrial pathologies. Out of 175 patients, 108 patients were diagnosed to have endometrial hyperplasia on hysteroscopy, however only 53 confirmed to have on histopathologically. Similarly 25 patients were said to have normal findings on hysteroscopy but by histopathology 85 were having normal endometrium. Hysteroscopy was highly specific for diagnosis of polyp (95.9%), cancer (100.0%), and atrophy (96. 9%), normal endometrium (92.2%) but low specificity for diagnosing hyperplasia (48.4%). The sensitivity of hysteroscopy in diagnosing polyp and endometrial hyperplasia were 100% and 84.9% respectively but it was low in case of cancer (16.7%) and normal endometrium (21.2%). Conclusion: Hysteroscopy is a highly accurate diagnostic tool in diagnosing intrauterine lesions like endometrial polyp and submucous fibroid. In fact, it was also found to be highly specific in conditions like endometrial cancer, polyp, atrophic and normal endometrium.

This prospective randomized study was carried out in the department of Radiology and Imaging in collaboration with the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Shahbag and Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) during the period of January 2003 to December 2004. The aim of this study was to establish sonohyterography as a sensitive tool and superior to Transvaginal Sonography (TVS) for detection of endometrial pathology in women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and its validity by determining sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value. For this purpose, a total number of 40 patients who had thickened endometrium (cut off level <15 mm for pre menopausal and <5 mm for post menopausal patients) detected on transabdominal or transvaginal sonography were selected. TVS and TV-SH were done in all these patients and findings were then compared with the final histopathological diagnosis. In our study, we found TV-SH has sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 80% and accuracy of 97.5 % compared to TVS (94 %, 66.66 % and 90 % respectively) in detection of endometrial pathology in women with AUB. TV-SH can thus be regarded as one of the most sensitive, specific and accurate modality in detecting and excluding endoluminal masses as the cause of AUB. It can be considered as the initial examination in the evaluation of all women with AUB. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bmrcb.v40i1.20322 Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull 2014; 40: 10-14
