A brief historical account on the development of gynecological surgery is made. Emphasis is given to hysterectomy as one of the most frequent procedures performed in this medical specialty. Some data on its incidence at "Dr. Eusebio Hernández" Hospital from 1977 to 1983 are provided. An analysis is made on the possible impacts it may have on female sexuality, as well as on the conceptualization of mothering after this surgical event. Reference is made to the importance of the male attitude in the human couple.
