Hysterectomy is typically performed through either of the two methods:
Conventional Hysterectomy: This involves manual incisions and stitches, and can be performed through either of the abdominal or vaginal routes.; Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: This involves tiny medical equipment with a camera and light on one end (medically known as a laparoscope). This camera is then used to provide a better understanding and access to the location, condition, and need of the diseased and the surrounding organs. It hence helps your surgeon perform a more precise and risk-free surgery with lesser blood loss and quicker recovery. This too can be used to perform uterus removal through both abdominal and vaginal routes.

Standard tests required before a hysterectomy surgery are:
X-ray; Ultrasound ; MRI ; CT Scan; Biopsy; Pap Smear
