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.
A hysterectomy refers to removal of ONLY the uterus and the cervix. The ovaries and the tubes are not removed during this procedure. The ovaries continue to make estrogen and function normally, so menopause or âthe changeâ will not occur. A partial hysterectomy refers to removal of the uterus and cervix. A complete hysterectomy refers to removal of the uterus, cervix, tubes and ovaries.
