That depends. A hysterectomy is when the uterus is surgically removed. If the entire uterus is removed then a second hysterectomy is not possible. In the past it was common for the surgeon to leave the cervix (the lower part of the uterus) in place while removing the rest of it. If this was done then it would be possible to have another surgery where the remnant that was left the first time is removed.
an ob/gyn is a nurse that works around pregnancy and childbirth, but not only does it work around those areas but also assists women with hysterectomies and anything that deals with a woman's reproductive system.
