The removal of the uterus through an abdominal incision.
The surgical procedure you are referring to is known as abdominal hysterectomy. It involves the removal of the uterus (womb) through an incision made in the abdomen. Abdominal hysterectomy is typically performed for various reasons, such as the treatment of conditions like uterine fibroids, endometriosis, uterine prolapse, and certain types of cancer. The procedure is carried out under general anesthesia, and the surgeon makes an incision in the lower abdomen to access the uterus. The uterus is then carefully detached from the surrounding tissues and blood vessels before being removed. After the procedure, the incision is closed using stitches or staples, and the patient may require a hospital stay for a few days to recover.
