To determine the indications and outcomes of peripartum hysterectomies performed at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (a university hospital in Southern Brazil) during the past 15 years, and to analyze the clinical characteristics of the women submitted to this procedure.
A cross-sectional study of 47 peripartum hysterectomies from 2005 to 2019.
The peripartum hysterectomies performed in our hospital were indicated mainly due to placenta accreta or suspicion thereof (44.7% of the cases), puerperal hemorrhage without placenta accreta (27.7%), and infection (25.5%). Total hysterectomies accounted for 63.8% of the cases, andwefound no differencebetween total versus subtotal hysterectomies in the studied outcomes. Most hysterectomies were performed within 24 hours after delivery, and they were associated with placenta accreta, placenta previa, and older maternal age.
Most (66.0%) patients were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Those who did not need it were significantly older, and had more placenta accreta, placenta previa, or previous Cesarean delivery.

The hemolytic - uremic syndrome (HUS) presents with a triad of acute renal failure, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia associated with high morbidity and mortality. On the differential diagnosis, other entities must be considered like preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome, acute fatty liver of pregnancy and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. We report a case of HUS occurring in the immediate postpartum period in a patient initially diagnosed as having preeclampsia. The differential diagnosis was based on abrupt renal failure, blood pressure increase and clinical and laboratorial evidence of hemolysis. Attention is directed to investigation, clinical management and prognosis based on review of the literature.
