Surgical excision of the uterus is called:

A) hysterotomy.
B) hysterectomy.
C) hymenectomy.
D) hysteroplasty.

Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, which can be performed for various reasons such as uterine cancer, endometriosis, or uterine prolapse. Hysterotomy is not a medical term and is not a surgical procedure. Hymenectomy refers to the surgical removal of the hymen, which is not related to the uterus. Hysteroplasty is a general term that refers to any surgical procedure involving the uterus, but it does not specifically refer to the removal of the uterus.
