Indication
Peripartum Hysterectomy
Technique
Supracervical or total hysterectomy is
performed using standard operative
techniques.
For this, adequate exposure is essential.
The bladder flap is deflected downward to
the level of the cervix if possible to permit
total hysterectomy.
The uteroovarian
ligament and fallopian
tube are doubly clamped
and cut bilaterally.
The lateral pedicle is
doubly ligated.
Total Hysterectomy
Even if total hysterectomy is planned, we
find it in many cases technically easier to
finish the operation after amputating the
uterine fundus and placing Ochsner or
Kocher clamps on the cervical stump for
traction and hemostasis.
To remove the cervix, the bladder is
mobilized further if needed.
