Hysterectomy. Artwork showing the types of hysterectomy (total,subtotal and radical) and the methods for performing the surgery (vaginal or abdominal). A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus (womb). It is a common operation,and is the usual treatment for cervical and uterine cancers. It may also be performed to treat menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding),endometriosis (fragments of the uterine lining implanting in the pelvic cavity) and severe uterine prolapses. Hysterectomy causes sterility,but patients should be able to lead an otherwise normal life | |
