Cesarean hysterectomy in Siriraj Hospital: a 5-year review.

Cesarean hysterectomy remains a necessary procedure for life saving during abdominal delivery. The procedure itself is usually associated with considerable perioperative morbidity, especially when performed under emergency conditions. Obstetricians should identify patients at risk and anticipate the procedure and its complications. Knowledge of this operation and skill at its performance can be very helpful in reducing perioperative maternal and perinatal morbidity.
