Gary Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Cunningham and Gilstrap's Operative Obstetrics, 3e AB - Peripartum hysterectomy refers to surgical removal of the pregnant or recently pregnant uterus. Most procedures follow delivery and are prompted by pregnancy or delivery complications. However, the term also includes hysterectomy with the pregnancy in situ, which is much less frequently performed. Radical hysterectomy early in the second trimester for cervical cancer is one example.
