and ovaries is a separate decision. If the ovaries are removed, the procedure name includes the term bilateral
salpingoophorectomy (BSO).
Incisions
An incision is made on the abdomen for this procedure. The size of the incision is determined by the size of your
uterus and the abdominal exposure needed. The incision will either by vertical (from the belly button down to the
pubic bone) or horizontal (“bikini cut”).
Operative Time
Operative times vary greatly depending on the findings at the time of surgery. Your surgeon will proceed with safety
