Abstrakt: 1.1. The wide diversity of opinion on previous pelvic surgery as a contraindication to vaginal hysterectomy is summarized from the literature.2.2. Seventy-one additional cases are reported in which vaginal hysterectomy was undertaken following previous pelvic surgery. Failure to accomplish vaginal hysterectomy occurred in 2 of these patients.3.3. This series of cases confirms the existing evidence that vaginal hysterectomy after almost any type or extent of previous pelvic surgery is a practical and safe procedure.4.4. The concept is presented that previous pelvic surgery itself frequently provides an indication for rather than a contraindication to vaginal hysterectomy.
