Question: what is hysterectomy of the cervix?
Answer: A supracervical hysterectomy is the removal of the upper part of the uterus leaving the cervix behind. A total hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus and cervix. A total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is the removal of the uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes (salpingo) and ovaries (oophor).
