This book initiates the descriptions of the practical performance of different hysterectomies with conventional and robotically assisted laparoscopy, laparotomy and vaginal surgery. Laparoscopic hysterectomy has been out as an additional technique for hysterectomies for the last couple of decades. As the necessary light, augmentation and advanced skill has only been introduced into this already 200 year old surgical procedure within the last few decades by laparoscopy, the editors aim to look at the laparoscopic procedures followed by the traditional techniques of hysterectomy with laparotomy and vaginal surgery.

Losing the Woman Within explores the emotional impact that a hysterectomy may have on a woman; on her sense of self and her significant relationships. It covers the things that can create emotional distress after surgery, the types of emotions a hysterectomy can invoke and the effects these can have on such things as sexuality. It then goes on to offer simple suggestions to help a woman manage if it does occur. And throughout it is illustrated with the authors own story. It can also be used as a personal journal and has a number of activities included within it that may help someone suffering after a hysterectomy come to terms with their experience and move on in a more peaceful and self accepting way.
Hysterectomy is a very common type of surgery and can be a life-saving operation for some women with certain types of cancer or torrential uterine haemorrhage. It can also improve the quality of life for women who experience menometrorrhagia, uterine leiomyomata, endometriosis or uterine prolapse. However, before embarking on hysterectomy, it is important to be aware of and understand all the options available, medical or conservative surgical, as well as their risks and benefits. The most determinant factors for choosing one or another approach are uterine size, organ mobility, parity and previous pathology, in integration with best research evidence, clinical expertise and patient values and expectations. This book is intended for all specialties involved in health care for women.
