Abstract
Summary One hundred and fifty-seven patients underwent Wertheim's radical abdominal hysterectomy in the Wolverhampton hospitals between 1966 and 1980. In this retrospective study, data are presented about the complications and results of the operations with particular reference to the influence of preliminary radiotherapy and the great advantage of hypotensive anaesthesia. The urinary fistula rate was 3·1 per cent and there were no operative deaths.Keywords
