You have now come to the Information part of the website, which is designed to give patients straightforward information with regard to the various operative procedures which are offered by my practice.

The information sheets have been kindly allowed to be reproduced by Miss Sarah Redstone, Publisher, Health Press Ltd, Elizabeth House, Queen Street, Abington, OX14 3JR.

I have been the Series Editor for the series Patient Pictures for many years and this particular book on gynaecology was written by my colleague, Mr Michael Stafford. When one of us is on leave, the other looks after his private practice. The Health Press process for producing information leaflets encompasses a Panel, including a General Practitioner, nurses and members of the lay public.

I do hope you find the information both practical and useful.

J RICHARD SMITH MD, FRCOG
