Abstract
A prospective study to evaluate 2 forms of postpartum sterilization (elective cesarean hysterectomy and postpartum abdominal hysterectomy) was undertaken. Of 241 patients who had elective total abdominal hysterectomy after delivery, 108 underwent cesarean hysterectomy and 133 postpartum hysterectomy. Morbidity was highest in the cesarean- hysterectomy group and lowest when the hysterectomy was done on the third postpartum day. 95% of the patients went home within a week of surgery. Acceptance was high. 58% had no complications.
