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.
When the cervix, ovaries, and Fallopian tubes are also removed, the procedure is referred to as a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Radical hysterectomy refers to the removal of the cervix, ovaries, upper section of the vagina, and the uterus with its supporting structures.
