This prospective observational study evaluated the indications and postoperative complications of total abdominal hysterectomy in 100 patients at a tertiary care hospital. The results identified uterine leiomyoma as the primary indication, followed by dysfunctional uterine bleeding, pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic cervicitis, adenomyosis, pelvic endometriosis, cervical polyps, ovarian cysts, and choriocarcinoma. Postoperative outcomes revealed fever as the most frequent complication, occurring in 20% of cases, with wound infections and urinary tract infections also noted. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for hysterectomy alongside adenomyosis, though the paper's main focus is general surgical outcomes rather than specific pathology management.
