A retrospective analysis of 29 cases of emergency obstetric hysterectomies done from dec.2010 to march 2012. The various factors regarding age, parity, indications of hysterectomy and type of hysterectomies were studied. Incidence rate was 0.35%. Most women were found in the age group of 26-30 years. 28 out of 29 cases were belonged to multipara. Most common indications were atonic PPH and rupture uterus. Subtotal hysterectomy was most commonly performed type of hysterectomy. 25 out of 29 hysterectomies were performed after LSCS. 20 patients had to stay for prolonged period in hospital due to post-ope morbidity. Active management of 3rd stage of labour, early recognization of complications, blood transfusion facilities and timely referral to tertiary centers are very important measures to be taken to prevent maternal mortality
