Summary

A hysterectomy, or removal of the uterus, is a common surgery performed for a variety of reasons. During this surgery, to prevent infection, the vagina is thoroughly prepped with a cleansing solution, most commonly chlorhexidine gluconate or povidone-iodine. While studies have shown that chlorhexidine gluconate is better at killing bacteria people have raised concerns on how it affects the vaginal tissue. It is important to study these effects the cleansing solution surgeons use for this surgery can not only prevent infection but not cause harmful side effects.
