Abstract
Peripartum hysterectomy is a lifesaving surgical procedure that is performed during or immediately after childbirth. Although it is a rare event, it is associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the indications, techniques, and outcomes of peripartum hysterectomy. It also discusses the risk factors, prevention strategies, and management of complications associated with this procedure. The chapter is a valuable resource for obstetricians, gynecologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of pregnant women. It provides evidence-based recommendations and practical guidance to help improve the outcomes of peripartum hysterectomy and ultimately save lives.
