Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points. Introducing the constant of proportionality, the resistance, one arrives at the usual mathematical equation that describes this relationship:
Total hysterectomyâThe entire uterus, including the cervix, is removed. Supracervical (also called subtotal or partial) hysterectomyâThe upper part of the uterus is removed, but the cervix is left in place. This type of hysterectomy can only be performed laparoscopically or abdominally.
Hyponyms (each of the following is a kind of hysterectomy): panhysterectomy; radical hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus and the ovaries and oviducts and cervix and related lymph nodes). total hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus and cervix).
