Abstract

This book is organised into multiple volumes on all gynaecological and obstetrical surgical procedures related to the female genital organs. Special sections are dedicated to patient positioning, type of incision, their closures along with proper use of drains, suture choices, etc. This volume deals with the creation of an ileal neovagina. Creation of neovagina may also be considered after vaginectomy, as from carcinoma, after extensive scarring from trauma or infection or in the case of male to female trans-sexual surgery. Using the ileum to form a vaginal conduit is an operation not performed by many gynaecologists. The success of this surgery and the postoperative satisfaction of both the patient and surgeon prompted us to include this case in the Series of Single Surgical Procedures. The book is enhanced by full colour illustrations and photographic reproductions. Special attention has been paid to the illustrations and photographs to make them more accessible and informative. The technical description is superb and to the point. This Colour Atlas of Gynecologic Single Surgical Procedures in Obstetrics and Gynaecology have set out to simplify surgery by creating a step-by-step procedural process, illustrated to emphasise those surgical steps, which are critical to the individual procedure under consideration.
