Removal of the uterus at the time of delivery or within the puerperium period is known as emergency
obstetric hysterectomy. Obstetric hysterectomy is a lifesaving procedure performed in cases of
uncontrolled uterine haemorrhage in placenta previa, placenta accrete, or uterine atony. Being one of the important factors in
uterine morbidity, maternal age has also a role in emergency obstetric hysterectomy. The present study was performed to
identify the relation between maternal age and emergency obstetric hysterectomy. The study was conducted in tertiary care
centres and medical colleges of Gujarat from May 2010 to January 2020. Data was collected from 169663 patients who delivered
during the study period, 291 patients underwent emergency obstetric hysterectomy were studied for the objectives of the study.
58.07% (169 out of 291) patients in the study were more than 35 years of age. The study found a statistically signicant
relationship between the maternal age and incidence rate. Summary: The incidence rate of emergency obstetric hysterectomy
increases with the maternal age.
