About Hysterorrhaphy

Hysterorrhaphy is a specialized surgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to repair a rupture or tear in the uterus. This condition, known as uterine rupture, is a serious obstetric emergency that can occur during late pregnancy or labor, posing significant risks to both the mother and baby. The primary goal of the surgery is to control bleeding, remove any damaged tissue, and meticulously suture the uterine wall to restore its integrity. In many cases, especially if the rupture is extensive or the patient's condition is unstable, a cesarean hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) may be necessary instead of a repair. Hysterorrhaphy is a critical, life-saving intervention that requires immediate medical attention in a well-equipped hospital setting.
