Not had a great success in finding a definitive database on statistical information but thought the numbers from NHS hospitals in England fell in line with what my GP told me.
In 2006 38,831 hysterectomies were performed in NHS hospitals in England
The figures for England can be broken down as follows:
Abdominal hysterectomy: 32,184 with 510 emergency operations carried out.
Vaginal hysterectomy: 6,641 with 40 emergency operations carried out
Removal of the cervix (not necessarily in conjunction with a hysterectomy): 18,586 with 131 emergency operations carried out
Removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes (not necessarily in conjunction with a hysterectomy): 2693 with 98 emergency operations carried out
Removal of one ovary and fallopian tube (not necessarily in conjunction with a hysterectomy): 3076 with 645 emergency operations carried out (the high rate of emergency probably relates to ectopic pregnancy).
I will continue searching unless anyone else can point me in the right direction?
