What is a Hysterectomy?
A Hysterectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus, also called the womb. After this surgery, a woman stops having periods and can't get pregnant.
Types of Hysterectomy
- Partial: Only the upper section of the uterus is removed and the cervix will be there.
- Total: Removes both the uterus and the cervix.
- Radical: Removes the uterus, cervix, and nearby tissues, usually for cancer cases.
Depending on your condition, options include partial, total, radical, or minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopic or robotic surgery. Our specialists help you understand which is best for you.
