Abstract:
(1)To audit cases of abdominal hysterectomy performed by post graduate tainees. (2) To evaluate mortality and morbidity rate. Study Design: An observational Study.

Material & Methods:120 cases of abdominal hysterectomies done for non obstetric and benign gynaecological conditions were selected for study. Results: The most common indications for hysterectomy was DUB (43.3%). Overall intra operative complications developed in 5 patients (4.1%). Post operative complications developed in 9 patients (7.5%). The mean duration of hospital stay was 5.5 days. No case of death was recorded in the study.
