The purpose of this study is to identify risk factors, indications and complications of hemostasis hysterectomy and to determine factors influencing the types of approaches to hysterectomy.we conducted a monocentric descriptive and analytical retrospective study in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Regional Hospital of Ben Arous from 2003 to 2019. Patients were classified according to the type of surgical treatment they received: total or subtotal hysterectomy.Methodswe conducted a monocentric descriptive and analytical retrospective study in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Regional Hospital of Ben Arous from 2003 to 2019. Patients were classified according to the type of surgical treatment they received: total or subtotal hysterectomy.seventy patients were included in the study. The rate of hemostasis hysterectomy was 1.3%. The average age of patients was 34.5 years (±5.1). Indications for hemostasis hysterectomy were dominated by placenta accreta (39% of cases; n=27), uterine inertia (34% of cases; n=24) and uterine rupture (16% of cases; n=11). Perioperative morbidity rate was 34 % (n=24). The most frequent complications were hemorrhagic shock (17%; n=12), disseminated intravascular coagulation (6%; n=4) and bladder lesions (6%; n=4). We reported six cases of maternal death, reflecting a rate of 8% (n=6). Subtotal hysterectomy was performed in 79% of patients (n=55) and 21% of women (n=15) underwent total hysterectomy. Placenta accreta was significantly associated with total hysterectomy group (aOR: 6.93, 95% CI: 1.07-44,80, p=0.042) and the average operation time was significantly shorter in subtotal hysterectomy group (aOR: 1.023; 95% CI: 1.009-1.03, p= 0.01).Resultsseventy patients were included in the study.
