Abstract: With the improvement in laparoscopic equipment and surgical technology, and public acceptance of laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic radical hysterectomy （LRH） and pelvic lymphadencetomy has become a new surgical approach of early cervical cancer. Several teams throughout the world have recently reported promising results of nearly two thousands cases in the treatment of cervical cancer with LRH. It is also the truth that the currently existing recurrence and survival data are still immature to draw safe conclusions on its long-term oncological safety. We review the research status and advance in laparoscopic surgery of cervical cancer.

Key words: Uterine cervical neoplasms, Laparoscopes, Hysterectomy, Lymph node excision
