Maksud "hysterectomy" dalam kamus Corsica

Hysterectomy adalah pembedahan uterus. Ia juga mungkin melibatkan penyingkiran serviks, ovari, tiub fallopian dan lain-lain struktur sekitarnya. Biasanya dilakukan oleh pakar sakit puan, histerektomi mungkin berjumlah atau separa. Ia adalah prosedur pembedahan ginekologi yang paling biasa dilakukan. Pada tahun 2003, lebih 600,000 hysterectomy dilakukan di Amerika Syarikat sahaja, di mana lebih daripada 90% telah dilakukan untuk keadaan jinak. Kadar sedemikian yang tertinggi di dunia perindustrian telah membawa kepada kontroversi utama bahawa histerektomi sebahagian besar dilakukan untuk sebab-sebab yang tidak berasas dan tidak perlu. Pembuangan rahim menyebabkan pesakit tidak dapat mengandung dan mempunyai risiko pembedahan serta kesan jangka panjang, jadi pembedahan biasanya disyorkan apabila pilihan rawatan lain tidak tersedia atau gagal. Diharapkan bahawa kekerapan hysterectomies untuk indikasi tidak malignan akan jatuh kerana ada alternatif yang baik dalam banyak kes. Oophorectomy sering dilakukan bersama-sama dengan histerektomi untuk mengurangkan risiko kanser ovari. Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. It may also involve removal of the cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes and other surrounding structures. Usually performed by a gynecologist, hysterectomy may be total or partial. It is the most commonly performed gynecological surgical procedure. In 2003, over 600,000 hysterectomies were performed in the United States alone, of which over 90% were performed for benign conditions. Such rates being highest in the industrialized world has led to the major controversy that hysterectomies are being largely performed for unwarranted and unnecessary reasons. Removal of the uterus renders the patient unable to bear children and has surgical risks as well as long-term effects, so the surgery is normally recommended when other treatment options are not available or have failed. It is expected that the frequency of hysterectomies for non-malignant indications will fall as there are good alternatives in many cases. Oophorectomy is frequently done together with hysterectomy to decrease the risk of ovarian cancer.
