title: [Indications for hysterectomy in placental tumors].
abstract: Indications for hysterectomy in placental tumours are now most often to carry out hysterectomy as a second attack designed to deal with residual lesions of choriocarcinoma that prove resistant to chemotherapy. Of 80 patients treated, 24 were first seen for chemotherapy after hysterectomy and this is too great a number. On the remaining 56 patients we carried out hysterectomy in 8 cases of whom 7 were secondary to chemotherapy. Seven times we found a residual lesion. These patients are now apparently cured.
