Result: Among 266 operated patients during the above mentioned 6 months period 100 samples were taken randomly. Regarding age distribution of the operated patients, 38% were in the age group of 31 to 40 years, more than ¼ th (33%) were in the age group of 41 to 50 years. Out of 100 patients about half (54%) of them were in the parous group of 1 - 5 children, next to this 28% had more than 5 and above babies. After sugery, 70 patients had no postoperative complications; only in 30 patients minor complications were noted. Among these, pyrexia above 100.0F was noted in 15 patients, lower abdominal pain in 8 patients and urinary tract infection in 5 patients.

In most cases due to highly skilled personnel, improvement of surgical technique, safe anaesthesia and appropriate use of antibiotics with blood transfusion, the mortality rate has remarkably decreased to nil.
