ABSTRACT: Hysterectomy is common
major operation performed in gynecological field practice after Caesarean
section. Vaginal hysterectomy is preferred surgery for uterovaginal prolapsed. Vaginal hysterectomy has
advantages over abdominal hysterectomy. Post hysterectomy hematomas are
responsible for serious morbidity. Ultrasound is an accurate diagnostic tool and so
Computed tomography. Conservative
management, analgesia and antibiotics will work in small hematoma, but the
significant sized hematoma needs surgical drainage and the infected hematoma. Refinement in surgical techniques is recommended to
minimize the formation
vaginal vault hematomas after vaginal hysterectomy.
