In brief: Whats partial mean?
As a physician, a hysterectomy is removal of the uterus and it can be total or subtotal or sometimes called supracervical.
A subtotal or supracervical hysterectomy removes the body of the uterus and a small part of the cervix. However, often times non-medical people call a partial hysterectomy total removal of the uterus but not removing the ovaries.

I have seen patients use the term partial for subtotal hyst.
An occasional patient thinks not removing the ovaries is partial hystrectomy , this is not true , ovaries are not part of the uterus.
