Abstract：
:Gynaecologists have been criticized in recent years because of their attitude towards hysterectomy; it is often stated that they are too ready to consider hysterectomy to be indicated and that hysterectomies are carried out too frequently. In order to obtain insight into the incidence of hysterectomy, 2066 women between 40 and 70 yr of age, composing a sample covering 6 European countries, were asked whether they had undergone this operation. Of the total sample, 11.4% had been hysterectomized, the highest percentage being found in Italy (15.5%) and the lowest in France (8.5%). The most important factor that influenced the relative frequency of hysterectomy was age: the percentage of women who had undergone hysterectomy increased with age up to 55-59 yr, but fell thereafter. Another significant factor was civil status; there were fewer divorcees or widows at the moment of operation than married or never-married women. The relationship between the incidence of hysterectomy and age is a parabolic one. To explain this curve the authors postulate that two trends must have played a rôle: firstly; a greater need for hysterectomy with increasing age and, secondly a decrease in the reluctance of the gynaecological profession to perform a hysterectomy and/or of women to undergo this operation. Statistical analysis confirms the existence of this second trend over the period 1960-1975. The chances of a young woman losing her uterus before her 70th year went up linearly to 19.8% in 1975. By extrapolation a figure of 21% is obtained for 1980. Satisfaction with the result of the operation was lowest in Italy and Germany; satisfaction was also lowest in rural areas.
