Une hystérectomie abdominale nécessite une incision vaginale, ainsi qu'une incision cutanée de dix à douze centimètres, sur la surface de l'abdomen. Cette dernière incision se caractérise par de plus grandes douleurs post-opératoires et par une période de convalescence plus longue que lorsque l'on procède par voie vaginale.
