Abdominal hysterectomy

An abdominal hysterectomy is a surgical technique that removes the uterus through a small incision in the lower abdomen. An abdominal hysterectomy may be advised if your uterus is distended by pelvic tumors or fibroid growths or when it's impossible to treat them through your vagina. An abdominal hysterectomy is the preferred surgical procedure for benign hysterectomy for many clinical indications.
