A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, usually done by a gynecologist. Hysterectomy may be total (removing the body and cervix of the uterus) or partial (also called supra-cervical). In many cases, surgical removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy) is performed concurrent with a hysterectomy. more at Wikipedia

Confusing and upsetting. I feel like a "chop shop". Another unsuccessful surgery in nov 2006, I changed oncologists. Some Dr has to know what he is doing somewhere.
