When I discuss an operation with a patient, I like to give her a leaflet to take away with her which summarises important points of our discussion. As I might be in several consulting rooms in any week, there may often be no suitable leaflet to hand.

I have therefore written some leaflets which I believe complement my discussions. If you find them of help you are welcome to use them.

Remember that any points should be discussed with your gynaecologist. No responsibility can be taken for any misunderstanding or difference of opinion.

If you want to discuss any aspect of this site in more detail then please contact me at one of my hospital positions or use the form found on the Contact us page.

How to find the information you want

There are several ways to navigate this site.

You can use the General Menu to access a list of all the articles - Operations will list all the leaflets about surgical procedures, Conditions will give you information on other problems that may, or may not, have a surgical solution, and Bladder Troubles lists all the articles about Urogynaecology.

You can also use the search box to look for articles that contain the word or words you are interested in.

And lastly, you can click on the tags on the left, to find all the articles that have been labelled with that particular word or phrase.

Once you have found the article you are interested in, you can obtain a printer-friendly version, or email it. You can also leave a comment, but you will need to register on the site to be able to do this.
