Pre-operative shaving in gynaecology.
The authors describe a small scale study conducted to examine the practice of pre-operative shaving in women undergoing gynaecological surgery. The results show that the practice of shaving was not uniform among the wards surveyed and that there were differences in the method used, area shaved and times at which the patient was shaved. Recommendations for practice are suggested.
