Whats the difference between a TOTAL abdominal hysterectomy and a partial or just regular?
Total abdominal hysterectomy implies-removal of uterus , cervix , and both ovaries. Partial is just a part is removed that is either only the uterus or uterus + cervix is removed. It depends on your pathology. If u have a cancer cervix, it needs radical hysterectomy which means a total hysterectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph nodes dissection , to stage it pathologically post operatively ( Wertheim’s Hysterectomy) If you still have any queries, feel free to ask at our hospital website bodeligeneralhospital.com , for free online consulting, or can e mail me.
