Step by Step Non-Descent Vaginal Hysterectomy

This book has been written to provide instruction in the various techniques of NDVH. The authors
firmly believe that the primary route of performing a hysterectomy for non-malignant uterine
pathology should be vaginal not laparoscopic. They give a deep insight into the practical
methodology and techniques required to carry out NDVH.

Consisting of 14 chapters, the book deals with the various procedures, common problems encountered,
reasons for failure, complications, case studies, current and future usage and description of the
equipment needed to perform NDVH. There are 90 full colour photos to illustrate the content, and a
free CD with video of procedures.

This book will be an excellent teaching tool for residents and an indispensable companion for
practising gynaecologists.
