title: Vaginal hysterectomy.
abstract: Vaginal hysterectomy represents the ultimate minimal access hysterectomy. The indications for the procedure extend well beyond those of prolapse. Good training and advances in surgical technique allow the removal of enlarged fibroid uteri as well as vaginal oophorectomy. This article also considers the complications which may follow.
