Hysterectomy in a woman of childbearing age is a major intervention that will significantly affect her future life. We approach hysterectomies very carefully and individually.
Indications for a Hysterectomy:
• Continued uterine bleeding when previous measures have failed and all available options (pharmacological and surgical) have been exhausted
• Placenta accreta spectrum when clinical findings do not allow conservative surgical management
• Devastating uterine injury
• When the uterus is suspected as a cause of sepsis
Surgical interventions are performed with i.v. ATB administration.
