title: Practice of gynecology in the elderly.
abstract: All practitioners must become more familiar with the practice of gynecology in the elderly in order to better serve their patients, of whom an increasing proportion are geriatric gynecologic patients. Advances in medical technology have increased the average life span, and better understanding of "senescent changes" may make it possible to improve the quality of life as well.
