Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The term “hysterectomy” though means removal of uterus, in practice it
has a much wider classification depending upon the indication. At times, it is done without
removal of cervix (supracervical hysterectomy) or with removal of adnexa (hysterectomy
with salpingooopherectomy). It can also be a part of staging laparotomy or radical
hysterectomy. Hysterectomy can be performed abdominally, vaginally or through abdominal
ports with the help of laparoscope.
