Sponsor's own description

Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures in gynecologic practice. Inspiteof the development of alternative treatments, the incidence of hysterectomy doesn't appear to be declining. Routes for hysterectomy include abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic or combined approaches.Vaginal hysterectomy is the method of choice for removal of the uterus in patients with benign gynecological diseases. A Cochrane review of surgical approaches to hysterectomy for benign gynecological diseases concluded that, wee possible vaginal hysterectomy should be performed in preference to abdominal hysterectomy.
