Is it possible for a doctor to mistakenly leave an ovary after performing a total hysterectomy?

A total hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus and cervix only. Therefore as the question stands the ovaries would not be removed. If the question is a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo (fallopiantube) oopherectomy (ovaries) then yes it is possible although very unlikely.Before the operation the surgeon should have discussed the operation with you and agreed with you what will be removed and what will be left. Additionally you will have to sign a consent form before the operation which clearly states what the operation is and what it includes. So yes human error does mean that it is possible however very unlikely as the surgical team who will have been briefed on the operation would draw to the attention of the lead surgeon the error at the time.

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.
