    Radical Hysterectomy

    Description


    Radical hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, part of the vagina, and uterine cervix along with the partial removal of the pelvic lymph nodes that is typically performed to treat cervical, ovarian, or endometrial cancer. Radical hysterectomy may be done through the abdomen or the vagina.

    A radical hysterectomy results in a woman’s inability to become pregnant.
