GlossaryHysterectomy

surgical removal of the uterus

A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a woman's uterus, which may also involve the removal of the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes depending on the type and extent of the surgery. This procedure is often performed to treat conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, or cancer of the uterus, cervix, or ovaries.
