Definition: Abdominohysterectomy is a surgical procedure in which a portion of the abdominal wall is removed to relieve pain, tension, or discomfort. In this context, "abdominohysterotomy" refers to the removal of all or most of the abdominal wall. The term "abdominohysterotomy" originates from the Greek word "abdominos," meaning "abdomen," and "hysteros," which means "uterus." The term was derived from a series of surgical procedures where an abdominal wall is removed to relieve pain, tension, or discomfort. This procedure aims to provide relief by removing one or more parts of the abdominal wall that cause pain. The removal of the abdominal wall can be performed through several methods: 1.

Open Method

: - Open surgery: In this method, a small incision is made in the abdomen and the abdominal wall is removed. - Incisional approach: This involves inserting an instrument into the abdominal cavity and removing parts of the abdominal wall without making any incisions. 2.

Closed Surgery

: - Fixed incision (or "closed" surgical): A large incision is made in the abdomen, including the abdominal wall. The surgeon makes multiple incisions to remove the remaining part of the abdominal wall. - Sutured or sutured approach: This method involves making one large incision and using sutures to close all parts of the abdominal wall. In summary, the "abdominohysterotomy" is a surgical procedure that removes most or a portion of the abdominal wall to relieve pain, tension, or discomfort.
