Re: Please help with abreviations, TAH, SAH???
TAH= Total Adominal Hysterectomy with removal of uterus and cervix
SAH- Supracervical Adominal Hysterectomy removal of top of uterus leaving the cervix
If you want more info go to Information at top of page and click on hysterectomy. It goes over everything there.
Hope this helps. Michelle

Re: Please help with abreviations, TAH, SAH???
You’ll find a list of abbreviations used on this site by clicking on the "Quick Links" tab, on the right of the purple bar towards the top of every page, or clicking here.
Checking "abdominal hysterectomy" and then "keep cervix" in your Member Survey will result in SAH showing as your surgery type/procedure.
Hope that helps!

Well, the D stands for dear...DH=Dear Husband. My friend who belongs to quite a few forums explained that one to me. DD=Dear Daughter DS=Dear Son. Seems like if they would just leave the darn dear off, everyone would get it....lol

You probably don't want to know what I thought DH meant when I first saw it! My DB (Dear Boyfriend!) had to tell me that it didn't mean that!
