A hysterectomy is a surgical removal of the uterus, resulting in the inability to become pregnant (sterility). It may be done through the abdomen or the vagina.
A total hysterectomy is removal of the entire uterus and the cervix. A radical hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus, the tissue on both sides of the cervix (parametrium), and the upper part of the vagina.

I read a fantastically informative book, written by a prominent American Gynecologist- Surgeon on that very topic. I think you would really gain from reading this book. Please email me if you want the name of the Doctor who wrote this book, as I don't know if it's ok to write this sort of thing on Yahoo pages.
OK

It is a surgical removal of your uterus. As to how much it goes by, I have no clue to what your asking.
