A hysterectomy is surgery to remove the uterus.
A total hysterectomy includes removal of the body of the uterus and the cervix, while a partial hysterectomy includes only removal of the body of the uterus but not the cervix. &nbsp;If the ovaries are also removed during the surgery then a description is added such as bilateral oophorectomy (both ovaries) or left or right oophorectomy if only one side of the ovaries is removed.
A cesarean hysterectomy (complete, partial, with or without oophorectomy) is a hysterectomy done during or shortly after a cesarean section.
Indications for a cesarean hysterectomy include:
<ul>
<li>Placenta accreta</li>
<li>Placenta increta</li>
<li>Placenta percreta</li>
<li>Uterine cancer</li>
<li>Uterine atony</li>
<li>Bleeding that cannot be stopped with other methods</li>
</ul>
