dc.descriptionA clinical study on hysterectomy in the rural tropics of Ghana and the challenges faced by rural health care providers to render effective and meaningful medical assistance to rural patients due to the scarcity of medical equipment and medical drugs in such neglected outlying areas..en
dc.description.abstractA retrospective study of hysterectomy at a rural hospital in Ghana revealed a high incidence of emergency cases. Uterine fibroids were the commonest indication for elective hysterectomy, followed by surgery for suspected cervical carcinoma. Most emergency hysterectomies were performed because of uterine rupture. The difficulties of managing these problems against the background of the diagnostic and therapeutic facilities available are discussed.en
