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 radical hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus (womb), cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic lymph nodes. Since the ovaries are removed, you will be put into surgical menopause. A total (simple) hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus and the cervix, but not the ovaries or tubes. You will not experience menopausal symptoms as a result of this surgery. A subtotal (partial, supracervical) hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus, but the ovaries, cervix, and fallopian tubes are left in place. You will not experience menopausal symptoms after this surgery.
