Final answer:

A supracervical hysterectomy with left salpingectomy involves the removal of the uterus and the fallopian tube on the left side, but not the cervix or ovaries.

Step-by-step explanation:

A supracervical hysterectomy with left salpingectomy involves the removal of the uterus (the womb) and the fallopian tube on the left side. The cervix (the lower part of the uterus) is not removed in this procedure. The ovaries, which are located in the abdominal cavity and not directly attached to the uterus, are not typically removed during a hysterectomy.
