>>Dr. Wang, I just wanted to let you know I had a subtotal hysterectomy where the upper portion of the uterus is removed. It is just that when my Dr. went in to remove the uterus he missed cutting out part of the uterus by my right ovary because of the severe hemmoraging. My doc did put in the operative report that I had a subtotal hysterectomy. But further more what will happen to the seperation of my incision on the inside? Will that heal by itself? Sorry for the confusion! Thanks again.
