Hysterectomy is removal of uterus. Total hysterectomy also known as complete hysterectomy is removal of uterus and cervix. This is not to be confused with a total hysterectomy with salpingo-oopherectomy which also removes the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Make sure you check with your doctor/surgeon what they are going to remove and what terminology as there has been confusion in the past. If you ask what he is removing then you will have a clear idea.
