Hysterectomy is the total or partial surgical removal of the uterus, normally done by a gynecologist. Hysterectomy may be total removing the body and cervix of the uterus or partial . In many cases, surgical removal of the ovaries is performed concurrent with a hysterectomy.

Tubectomy litereally means cutting of tubes, which in this case are fallopian tubes which are situated in the lower part of the abdomen.These tubes are attached on one end to uterus and the other end opens in the abdomen. When the ova is released from the ovary, it is picked up by Fallopian tube and is transmitted to the uterus. If sperms are present in the Fallopian tubes, ova is fertilised and then that is embedded in the uterus. Hence, the fallopian tubes are responsible for transmitting ova from ovaries to uterus.
