A hysterectomy alone means the removal of the uterus. There are two ways that the surgeon can operate 1. Laparoscopically (key hole) where the uterus is removed by 1 to 4 small incisions in the abdomen to allow the surgical instruments to enter the abdominal cavity. 2. Abdominal is where the surgeon accesses the abdominal cavity by way of a six inch incision in your stomach. Recovery time from abdominal surgery is usually longer and you are left with a larger scar than with laparoscopic surgery.

Can cysts be the reason for total abdominal hysterectomy?
Cysts are usually found on the ovaries whereas a total hysterectomy whether abdominal or laproscopic removes the uterus and cervix. If the cysts are cancerous then their removal would be one option either by an oopherectomy (removal of the ovary) or a cystectomy removal of the cysts. It would be unusual therefore to have a hysterectomy for ovarian cysts unless there are other conditions which may point to this such as fibroids etc,
What structures are removed during a TAH?
total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH), and supracervical abdominal hysterectomy (SAH). In a TAH, the uterus and the cervix are both removed. In a SAH, only the uterus is removed. Although your ovaries may be removed during a TAH or SAH, these procedures can easily be performed without removing your ovaries.
