A Survey of Hysterectomy Patterns in Malaysia

چکیده
Editor I was indeed surprise to read in Dr Ravindran's article' that only 95 out of 707 cases of hysterectomies carried out in the 14 government hospitals in his study were vaginal hysterectomies. This is very worrying because vaginal hysterectomy is now recognised as the treatment of choice over abdominal hysterectomy. Most hysterectomies can be carried out via the vaginal route. The extremely low proportion of vaginal hysterectomies in the study is because vaginal hysterectomy is carried out only for utero-vaginal prolapsed cases. This is the simplest type of vaginal hysterectomy.
