Summary Termination hysterectomy has been performed 56 times in the Division of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Oxford from April, 1968, until the end of 1969. The operation is preferred over all others when the patient is highly parous, needs permanent contraception, and suffers from uterine disease. It is not essentially different from hysterectomy for other accepted indications. Termination hysterectomy may well be the procedure of choice when pregnancy is to be terminated and when sterilization is required.
