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.
