I'm trying to find out what a hysterectomy is and what it does.

A Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. It's usually done to treat uterine cancer or other conditions, such as fibroids or endometriosis. The procedure can be done in several ways, including through an incision in the abdomen (laparotomy), through the vagina (vaginal hysterectomy) or through the belly button (minimally invasive).
