What is total hysterectomy--uterus and ovaries removed?

A total (complete) hysterectomy is the removal of the whole uterus(body of the uterus as well as the cervix).

A partial (or supracervical) hysterectomy removes part of the uterus and leaves the cervix in place.The removal of the tubes and ovaries is a separate procedure (salpingectomy and oophorectomy respectively). Removing everything is a total hysterectomy and a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Would you like to video or text chat with me?
