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.
In direct answer to your question, the three organizations agree that women who have a hysterectomy for benign disease and have the cervix removed in that operation do not need to have routine Pap smears. It is rare for a woman to have a hysterectomy and not have the cervix removed.
