Hysterectomy
built 643 days ago
Hysterectomy is performed on patients with a number of indications, such as recurrent uterine bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, or menopause, usually in some combination. No ideal rate for hysterectomy has been established. Hysterectomy is a potentially overused procedure. Although the ideal rate for hysterectomy has not been established, several studies have noted relatively high rates of inappropriate indicators for surgery (16-70%).
