Abstract:

Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignant tumors. With the trend of younger age of cervical cancer, more and more patients have the requirement of sparing fertility. Radical trachelectomy has become the standard surgical method for preserving reproductive function in patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage ⅠA2 and ⅠB1 cervical cancer,and has also been applied in patients with cervical cancer with tumor diameter >2 cm after neoadjuvant chemo therapy and patients with pregnancy complicated with cervical cancer. Radical trachelectomy has a large operation scope, great difficulty, long operation time and high incidence of postoperative complications. Surgical approach, intraoperative technique and the way of lymph node evaluation may have different effects on tumor prognosis and pregnancy outcome. Therefore, seeking a balance between tumor prognosis and reproductive function after radical trachelectomy, reducing unnecessary tissue resection and injury while ensuring tumor resection scope, shortening operation time and reducing the probability of complications can benefit more cervical cancer patients undergoing radical trachelectomy.
