Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus and is commonly performed to treat conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, abnormal uterine bleeding, uterine prolapse, and certain gynecological cancers. Depending on the patient's condition, the surgeon may perform a total, partial, or radical hysterectomy, and the procedure can be carried out through abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted techniques. The appropriate approach depends on the underlying condition, overall health, and individual treatment needs.
