Advance Praise
As hundreds of thousands of women begin the ‘HysterSisters’ journey each year, they need and deserve the most current information about hysterectomy and menopause. Dr. Streicher is the voice of a compassionate medical expert who can guide women through their pre- and post-hysterectomy experiences.
—Kathy Kelley, founder and CEO of HysterSisters.com
The Essential Guide to Hysterectomy is just that: an up-to-date, comprehensive, essential resource for the over half a million women in the United States who undergo this procedure every year. Dr. Streicher’s latest book not only demystifies the hysterectomy procedure but provides in-depth descriptions of the various techniques utilized by physicians, such as robot-assisted hysterectomy, that are currently in vogue. In addition, Dr. Streicher outlines alternative therapy, both medical and surgical. I will certainly recommend The Essential Guide to Hysterectomy to all of my patients.
—Dr. Charles E. Miller, president of The International Society for Gynecologic Endoscopy
