A retroverted uterus, in and of itself, is not a reason for a
suspension,
and, in general, suspensions are performed infrequently.
If there is more information, please let us know, as perhaps that
information would make the reason for the surgery clear.
If not, please reassess your decision for surgery along with your
doctor.
If necessary, consider getting a second opinion.
