Hysterectomy Information
Hysterectomy Defined
A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, otherwise known as the womb. Rarely is a hysterectomy an emergency surgery. There is usually considerable time to explore options for discussions with your personal surgeon. Take time to research and get a second and third opinion.
