Dear friends and colleagues,
I was invited sometime ago to contribute a chapter on internet book
on Hysterectomy. I contributed a chapter on peri-partum hysterectomy
because of my previous work on this topic. I am pleased to let you
know that this book has been published and my chapter could be seen at
the link below.
Could you please share this with your residents and others interested
on the topic.

Introduction: Peripartum or obstetric hysterectomy is
the removal of the corpus uteri alone or with the cervix at the time
of a cesarean section, or shortly after a vaginal delivery. It is a
challenging but life-saving obstetric procedure. The removal of the
uterus at cesarean section is referred to as cesarean hysterectomy
while the removal after vaginal birth is called postpartum
hysterectomy [1].
