Gynaecological Surgery - Hysterectomy(G) & Salpingo- Oophorectomy

Hysterectomy is a surgical operation for the removal of the uterus(G) (womb) and sometimes other organs through a cut in the abdomen(G) or vagina(G). There are two main types of hysterectomy: total and sub-total. A total hysterectomy involves the removal of the uterus and cervix(G), while a sub-total hysterectomy removes only the uterus, leaving the cervix behind.
