Hysterectomy for retroverted uterus, how does this work?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Same: The position of the uterus does not change the process or procedure when performing a hysterectomy - the surgery would be the same

Depends on route: 20% of women have a retroverted uterus. By itself it usually isn't a reason for hysterectomy. Its done the same way as all other hysterectomies. Extreme retroversion with retroflexion might make it slightly harder to do during laparoscopic or vaginal, but in general it doesn't pose a problem.

Probably the same: The uterus can be retroverted, anteverted, or mid-plane and all of these are normal. That does not usually affect the process of performing a hysterectomy. What can complicate the procedure would be significant adhesions or other exophytic disease.
