Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. A woman's uterus (or womb) is part of her reproductive system and is home to a developing fetus during pregnancy. A healthy uterus rarely needs to be removed, but a number of factors can precipitate removal as treatment.
Conditions that may call for a hysterectomy include:
Complete – The most common form of hysterectomy is the complete or total hysterectomy that removes the uterus and cervix.
Partial – A partial hysterectomy removes the uterus and leaves the cervix in place.
Radical – A radical hysterectomy removes the uterus, cervix and the upper part of the vagina. Although not always necessary, ovaries and fallopian tubes may be removed during a hysterectomy.
