Hysterectomy is an operation to remove the womb. The commonest problems that lead women to have their wombs removed are: heavy periods; abnormal or irregular bleeding; pelvic pain; prolapse; and pressure on surrounding areas and organs. This may be done through the tummy, commonly using a keyhole approach where possible as this has benefits over open surgery. These benefits include: a quicker recovery; less pain; less time in hospital; and a faster return to work. It can also be done through the vagina where possible as this has benefits including quicker surgery; less risk of injuring organs; and less pain.
