Remove cervix or not?
The cuff is what takes place of the cervix. Essentially its just your vagina stitched together.

Re: Remove cervix or not?
This was one I struggled with as well. Don't know what got me at peace with the fact that they were taking it except possibly for the fact that it would be one less thing I would have to worry about. I actually struggled with this one more than the decision of whether or not to take the remaining ovary which I think surprised my doctor. Good luck we each have struggles we deal with and at almost 1 week post-op I can tell you it will be ok.

Re: Remove cervix or not?
A vaginal cuff is created when they remove the uterus and cervix. The top of the vagina is sown together. If you think tube sock, you have a good picture.
