A study conducted on 140 hysterectomies at the "Miguel Dorantes Mesa" Hospital in Xalapa, Veracruz focused on various factors including age, medical history, and surgical outcomes between 1990 and 1992.
The primary reason for the procedures was pre-malignant lesions, with benign neoplasias following; only 4% were due to malignant conditions.
The surgery performed most often was extrafascial hysterectomy, usually accompanied by salpingo-oophorectomy, and the most common complications included bladder and ureter injuries, with no reported mortality.
