Reviews

The Essential Guide to Hysterectomy is just that: an up-to-date, comprehensive, essential resource for the over half a million women in the United States who undergo this procedure every year. Dr. Streicher s latest book not only demystifies the hysterectomy procedure but provides in-depth descriptions of the various techniques utilized by physicians, such as robot-assisted hysterectomy, that are currently in vogue. In addition, Dr. Streicher outlines alternative therapy, both medical and surgical. I will certainly recommend The Essential Guide to Hysterectomy to all of my patients.--Dr. Charles E. Miller, president of The International Society for Gynecologic Endoscopy
