A retrospective study of hysterectomy at a rural hospital in Ghana revealed a high incidence of emergency cases. Uterine fibroids were the commonest indication for elective hysterectomy, followed by surgery for suspected cervical carcinoma. Most emergency hysterectomies were performed because of uterine rupture. The difficulties of managing these problems against the background of the diagnostic and therapeutic facilities available are discussed.
对加纳一家乡村医院子宫切除术的回顾性研究显示急诊病例的发生率很高。子宫肌瘤是择期子宫切除术最常见的指征，其次是疑似宫颈癌的手术。大多数急诊子宫切除术是由于子宫破裂而进行的。文中讨论了在现有诊断和治疗设施的背景下处理这些问题的困难。
