Hysterectomy Articles (Research articles after these)
These articles are concerned with hysterectomes and oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries) some performed specifically without consent of the patient. Unfortunately this is still happening in the UK today. Some people do not realise that the doctors is required to discuss every aspect of your operation with you and allow you to make an informed decision.
