| Supracervical hysterectomy is the procedure of choice for atony, as the operating time is significantly shorter and the operation does not lead to unintended vaginal shortening. Total hysterectomy should be considered for placental implantation disorders of the lower uterine segment; visualisation of the ureters during this procedure is recommended. | |
