In recent years, advances in laparoscopic technologies have led to renewed interest in the vaginal approach to hysterectomy, which has many proven benefits for patients. This volume, dedicated to explaining and promoting the vaginal route of hysterectomy, is written and edited by an international team of experts and provides a much-needed source of up-to-date information and instruction. The authors caution that laparoscopic technology can provide a valuable source of assistance for the gynecological surgeon in certain circumstances, though only in a percentage of cases. This book, beautifully illustrated with line drawings and full-color photographs, contains step-by-step surgical techniques. Acknowledged authorities from around the world take the reader through the indications and contra-indications for the vaginal approach, explain crucial preoperative assessment procedures, and offer an evidence-based elucidation of vaginal hysterectomy. Combined with a full review of the potential complications, morbidity and mortality associated with the vaginal approach, this book provides the reader with a well-balanced appraisal of vaginal hysterectomy. Vaginal Hysterectomy will be an essential reference for practicing gynecologists, surgeons, consultants and postgraduates. ISBN 9781901865431
