What does no one tell you about a hysterectomy?
All hysterectomies remove at least part of the uterus, but not all hysterectomies are created equal. A partial hysterectomy is also called a supracervical hysterectomy — so-named because the surgeon removes only the top part of the uterus and leaves the bottom, including the cervix, in place.
