Gynaecological disorders are often treated through minimally invasive laparoscopic, or open abdominal access surgery, rather than through vaginal surgery.

This book is a guide to vaginal hysterectomy for gynaecologists.

Divided into seven sections, each further sub-divided into a series of case studies, topics cover vaginal hysterectomy in different disorders and circumstances, including uterine debulking, patients who have previously had a caesarean section, previous uterine surgery, adnexal pathology, nullipara, and endometrial cancer. The final section describes special cases.

Authored by an internationally recognised team of experts in the field, the text is further enhanced by clinical photographs and diagrams.
