title: [Hysterectomy in obstetrics. Analysis and comparison of a group of cases from the Italian and the international literature (536 cases)].
abstract: The Authors made a comparison between the frequency of obstetric hysterectomies carried out at the "La Sapienza" University Obstetrics and Gynaecology Departments and of those reported in international publications regarding Great Britain, USA, Australia, Saudi Arabia and Libya. Data obtained covered the 462 hysterectomies effected out of the 442,174 births from 1972 to 1895. Results were compared as under: general frequency per number of births, reasons for surgery, type of operation carried out, age of the patient, gestation period, obstetrical history and complications.
