Modulation of radicality in the surgery of early cervical cancer

E. Bratila, P. Bratila


Abstract: Initial stages of I-IIA cervical cancer benefit from an exclusive surgical treatment where radical hysterectomy is considered the standard method regardless of the approach or technique used. Although mortality is insignificant, perioperative morbidity is marked by complications due to the tendency to resect as much parametrial tissue as possible and due to the lymphadenectomy itself. Evacuation disorders of the bladder and rectum or a compromised sexual function are only a part of the complications overshadowing the high survival rate of the surgical treatment. Research in the last decade has concentrated on reconsidering the limits of radicality for hysterectomy and on reducing the invasiveness in the sense of a less aggressive surgery aiming at anatomical and functional conservation.
Keywords: cervical cancer, radical hysterectomy, lymphadenectomy
