This book is OK by Jennifer Donley (Columbus, OH United States)  3 Stars
July 20, 2008
This book is OK. If you are having a hysterectomy, it will give you valuable information that you need to know. The Essential Guide to Hysterectomy by Lauren F. Streicher is a more complete book. If you're only going to read one book before your surgery make it the Complete Guide.

Great balanced guide by K. Self (Birmingham, AL USA)  5 Stars
April 21, 2005
I picked this book up at the library and am considering buying a copy, even though my surgery is scheduled for just a week from now. It is a great guide to what will happen, what questions to ask, how to prepare, etc., etc., etc. I'm on my second reading now and will probably read it again. Definitely worth the $10 or so price tag in my opinion.

Helpful, fairly up-to-date, unbiased. by cynthia_colorado (Rocky Mountains) 5 Stars
January 08, 2005
Less biased than some books on the subject. Discusses hysterectomies and less-drastic alternative treatments, including the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of each. Discusses different methods of hysterectomy -- vaginal, abdominal, and laproscopic, and includes the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of each method. Some hysterectomy books do not mention the newer all-laproscopic method of hysterectomy, but this gives it good coverage. Also pros and cons of what to include in the hysterectomy, especially ovaries which have a major impact. Includes an in-depth discussion of what to expect after hysterectomy.

Helpful book  4 Stars
February 10, 2004
I found this book clear, concise and very helpful. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that once again, despite it's title, it includes alternatives to hysterectomy. For those of us who have already made the decision out of necessity, I find that annoying.
