Objective: To describe the indications and the prognosis of the hysterectomy operation in the obstetrics and gynecology department at the UTH-YO, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Methodology: It has been a descriptive cross-sectional study over a period of 18 months from 1 January 2014 to 30 June 2015 in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the UTH-YO. The variables studied were demographics, clinical and prognostic aspects. Results: During the study period, we recorded 128 cases of hysterectomies including 20 obstetric causes (15.62%) and 108 gynecological cases (84.38%). The incidence of hysterectomy was 3 per 1000 births. Gynecological indications were dominated by uterine fibroids (47.3%), genital prolapse (20.4%), cervical dysplasia (9.3%) and functional bleeding (7.4%). Obstetric indications were dominated by uterine ruptures (60%), the postpartum haemorrhage (15%). The prognosis of obstetric indications was marked by 5 cases of bladder lesions or a morbidity rate of 3.9% and 4 deaths that to say a fatality rate of 3.1%. Conclusion: The prognosis of hysterectomies should be improved with further training of health workers in surgical techniques, the adoption of strategies to reduce maternal mortality and community awareness in attendance at health facilities.

We present a study to the clinical, therapeutic and evolutive aspects of severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia in the service of obstetrics and gynaecology of regional teaching hospital of Ouahigouya. We have conducted a descriptive and analytical study with retrospective data collection within 3 years, from 1 st January 2013 to 31 st December 2015. We have recorded 5791 deliveries out of which 261 were included giving a rate of 4.51% (61 cases of eclampsia 1.05%, 200 cases of severe pre-eclampsia, 3.45%). The most affected patients were the women with age ranging between 16-20 years (33.3%), the nulliparous women (24.2%), the multiparous women (25.5%), married women (84%) and those without renumbering activity (86.6%). Maternal prognosis was dominated by a morbidity linked to fever (24.8%), coma (21.7%) and acute kidney failure (14.9%). Maternal lethality rate was 1.92% and the fetal mortality was 24.6%.

Objective: To describe the role of autologous regenerative intraoperative bleeding of recent intra-cavity losses over the ectopic pregnancy ruptured at the Schiphra Hospital of Ouagadougou. Methodology: It has been a cross-sectional descriptive study over a period of 18 months from January 1 st 2014 to June 30 th 2015 in the obstetrics and gynecology department at the schiphra hospital of Ouagadougou. In our study, we included all pregnant women having received emergency with a diagnosis of broken ectopic pregnancy complicated by a significant array of clinical haemoperitoneum and who have consented to participate in the survey. Results: During the study period, we recorded 322 cases of ectopic pregnancy, among which 106 were broken. Autotransfusion was performed in 59 patients, that is to say 18.3%. The average age of patients was 27 years (18 -40). The average rate of childbirth was 5.25 (0 -11). The general condition of the patients was pretty good at 8.5% and poor in 91.5% of cases. The average amount of blood transfused per patient was 935 ml with a range of 400 and 1600 ml. After autotransfusion, 62% of patients had greater improvement in hemoglobin 10 g/dl. Maternal prognosis was marked by a case of fever with a morbidity rate of 1.9% and a death post autotransfusion case fatality rate of 1.9%. Conclusion: In the context of shortage of blood products, autologous transfusion could be an alternative in the treatment of ruptured ectopic pregnancy in developing countries.
