    Abstract:
    From 1965 to 1975, 232 radical hysterectomies (using the Wertheim-Meigs method) were performed in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital, Mannheim. Statistical evaluation showed that the average patient was 43,3 years old. In more than 50 percent of all cases the reason for admission to hospital was given as bleeding problems and contact bleeding, in 30 percent of the cases the readon was given as suspicious cervical os findings. 80 percent of all patients were operated on in stage Ia or Ib. An indwelling catherer was in place for an average of 14.96 days. Postoperative complications occurred in 194 (83.62%) patients. Of those, a majority (71.55%) was found to be an urological problem. Wound healing disturbances amounted to 12 percent of all cases. The mortality rate was 1.29 percent.
