Hysterectomy is the second most common operation performed on women in the United States. About 556,000 of these surgeries are done annually. By age 60, approximately one out of every three American women will have had a hysterectomy.

Is it possible to have two hysterectomies?

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.
