Types of abdominal hysterectomy • Subtotal • Total • Panhysterectomy • Radical hysterectomy • Ultraradical hysterectomy
Complication of hysterectomy 1- Respiratory complications 2- Excessive abdominal pain 3- Deep venous thrombosis &pulmonary embolism 4- Dependant edema 5- Intestinal complication 6- Hemorrhage
Remote complications • (a) Complications of the abdominal scar as keloid formation. • (b) Vagina discharge due to infection at the vaginal vault. • (c) Vagina vault prolapse after hysterectomy, • (d) Dyspareunia, after hysterectomy • (e) Low backache due to persistent chronic pelvic cellulitis, • (f) Menopausal symptoms following bilateral oophorectomy in a young patient.

Definition • Retro-versionmeans that the uterus is directed backwards towards the sacrum by its rotation round a transverse axis passing through the external os. • Retro-flexion is backward flexion of corpus (body) uteri on the cervix at the level of internal os
Varieties of retro-version-flexion • A) Congenital • Retroversion of a hypoplastic uterus • Retroversion of a normal uterus • B) Acquired: • Retroversion complicated by pelvic pathological lesions • Puerperal retroversion
Degrees of retro-version-flexion • First degree: the fundus is directed towards the promontory of the sacrum. • Second degree: the fundus is directed towards the sacral concavity. • Third degree: the fundus is directed towards the tip of the sacrum.
Symptoms of Retroversion • Backache • Menorrhagia. • Dyspareunia • Leucorrhoea • Sterility • Incarceration
Surgical Treatment • Modified Gilliam's Ventrosuspension • Fothergill's operation
