The surgical removal of a fetus from the uterus is known as a hysterotomy. A hysterectomy involves the removal of the entire uterus and is not typically performed to terminate a pregnancy. Hysterology is not a medical term, and emergency abortion is a general term that could refer to several different methods of inducing an abortion in emergency situations.
