Hysterectomy - the surgical removal of the uterus - is performed when disease or injury makes the operation necessary. The alternatives to conditions sufficiently severe as to warrant hysterectomy are usually life-threatening.
Depending on the type of illness or injury either just the uterus is removed, or the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries are all removed.
