Hysterectomy / Surgical Removal Of Uterus
Hysterectomy - Complications
| Hysterectomy is generally very safe, but with any major surgery comes the risk of complications such as blood clots, infection, excessive bleeding or an adverse reaction to the anesthesia. |
Other risks of hysterectomy are:
- Damage to the urinary tract, bladder or rectum during surgery, which may require further surgical repair
- Loss of ovarian function
- Early onset of menopause
