AbstractThis article reviews the major reasons for hysterectomies and critiques some of the alternative practices, such as medical therapy to shrink fibroids, and new surgical techniques, such as laparoscopic-assisted hysterectomies. Perhaps in response to the increased attention and the new procedures and drugs that allow more conservative management, the rate of hysterectomies has actually decreased.
