Removal of uterine body was likely associated with closing off the fallopian tubes and even if the top of the cervix is open, sperm could not reach the ovaries. Are you getting regular PAP examinations? If not do that and ask your doctor about removal of the cervix.

If the ovaries remain, can an ectopic pregnancy still occur after a partial hysterectomy ?

Cervix closed after partial/subtotal hysterectomy. Has to be closed to uterine body right? Or pregnancy can occur with ovaries left in place. I get conflicted answers. Why when cervix removed, its a cuff added but nothing is done when cervix remains?
