Hysterectomy, in the literal sense of the word, means merely removal of the uterus. However other organs such as ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the cervix are very frequently removed as part of the surgery. Radical hysterectomy: complete removal of the uterus, cervix, upper vagina, and parametrium.
Approaches to hysterectomy may be broadly categorised into four options: abdominal hysterectomy (AH); vaginal hysterectomy (VH); laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) where at least some of the operation is conducted laparoscopically (Garry 1994), and robotic‐assisted hysterectomy (RH).
