Approximately 20% of women in the United Kingdom have a hysterectomy by the age of 60 years for various reasons, usually a total hysterectomy. This modern hysterectomy was introduced in order to prevent the occurrence of cervical stump carcinoma. The incidence of cervical stump carcinoma is low and with the advent of Papanicolaou smears have been negligible. Many gynecologists and patients worldwide have questioned the routine removal of the benign cervix, as the argument for conserving the cervix is less disturbance to bladder, bowel and sexual function. This study was undertaken to review the long-term outcome after subtotal hysterectomy.
