Total Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH)


Explanation:
I had this come up in a translation last week, and I agree it will usually mean High Blood Pressure, although in my case the doctors also used HTA as an accronym (in the same patient records) to also mean histerectomia total abdominal (HTA) - very confusing..
