title: Does simple hysterectomy affect lower urinary tract function--a urodynamic investigation.
abstract: Twenty-five patients who had a simple hysterectomy procedure underwent urodynamic assessment to assess the effect of surgery on lower urinary tract function. This one year survey suggests that neither vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy causes significant ongoing disruption of such function.
