Vaginal hysterectomy: why it should not be forgotten
There are four types of hysterectomy: abdominal, laparoscopic, vaginal and laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy. My operation of choice is vaginal hysterectomy. Why? Because I believe that this operation is in the best interest of your patient.
It is also the best option for the environment. I hope that this publication will show you that this unfashionable operation is not only the safest method of performing a hysterectomy but will also have your patient back on their feet in the shortest time.
