👉 Celotomy, also known as a "cleopatra operation," is a surgical procedure that involves cutting open and removing part of the uterus to remove all or part of the womb. This can be done for various reasons, such as pregnancy complications, endometriosis, or other medical conditions. The goal of celotomies is to relieve pain, improve circulation, and reduce swelling. They are performed under general anesthesia and may require sedation or anesthetic.
