title: [The "Vienna School" of surgical gynecology as an important component of modern therapeutic concepts].
abstract: During the last years, clinical applications and studies of gynecologic endoscopy have gained increasing importance. With regard to vaginal surgery, questions arise about single and combined use of endoscopy and vaginal techniques. Beside sufficient pretherapeutic assessment and patient information, evaluation of these indications requires prospective randomized and comparative trials. Thus, the clinical impact of combined endoscopic and vaginal techniques can be assessed on the basis of objective data. The alternative to this kind of evaluation of new surgical techniques is uncontrolled human experimentation which is neither scientific nor ethical.
