Zusammenfassung:	The indications for emergency and elective cesarean hysterectomy have remained controversial throughout modern obstetric history. In an attempt to clarify the role of cesarean hysterectomy in today's practice, we retrospectively studied 216 peripartum hysterectomies done at our institution from 1956 to 1988. We analyzed indications, surgical procedures, and intraoperative and postoperative complications in an attempt to illustrate evolving obstetric trends.
