Abstract
Abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy are common operations for benign gynaecological conditions. Though safe operations, they are not without complications. Good medical practice requires that patients be fully counselled regarding risks involved in undergoing medical interventions. This can only be done by regular review of local practice and comparison with national and international standards. We have reviewed 502 case notes of patients who have undergone a hysterectomy for benign conditions over an 18-month period.
