The aim of this study is to compare the effects of propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia on perioperative immune response in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer.Sixty patients with cervical cancer scheduled for elective laparoscopic radical hysterectomy under general anesthesia were randomized into 2 groups. TIVA group received propofol induction and maintena...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a temporary ureteral catheter in preventing iatrogenic ureteral damage in cervical cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy. All cases had confirmed diagnoses of cervical cancer preoperatively between December 2008 and December 2012 in our hospital and were in clinical stages IA2 to IIA. In total, 176 laparoscopi...

For cervical cancer cases with a low risk of relapse who wish to maintain their fertility, radical trachelectomy is an alternative to radical hysterectomy. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging is recommended before surgery, with laparoscopic assisted lymphatic dissection required for assessment of lymphatic metastasis. If there is a visible lesion in the cervix, the specimen taken during trachelec...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this study was to describe fertility preservation methods to improve quality of life of early stages of cervical cancer. RECENT FINDING Although definite treatment of early stages of cervical cancer including stages IA,IB1 and IIA non-bulky is radial hysterectomy, this method is used in perimenopousal period in which fertility preservation is not important. Whenev...

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of four different treatment modalities in International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) IB2 and IIA2 bulky cervical cancers. Material and methods: Totally, n = 70 eligible women with bulky (≥4 cm) FIGO IB2 IIA2 cervical cancer that diagnosed and treated at our clinic between the years of 1/1994 1/2010 were reviewed retrospectively. Data reg...

BACKGROUND Because of the advancements in surgical techniques and laparoscopic instruments, total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy can now be performed for the treatment of uterine cervical carcinoma. We assessed the feasibility, complications, and survival rates of patients who underwent total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy. METHODS We retrospectively collecte...

Purpose: To prevent hazardous effects of radical hysterectomy of uterine cervical cancer. Methods and results: The operation technique was modified Wertheim’s radical hysterectomy, improved in Japan and by the author. The side effects of the operation were 1) Continuous vaginal urinary incontinence caused by ureter fistula, which was produced by pelvic infection of wound secretion after surgery...

•An 18 year old nulliparous woman was diagnosed with clear cell adenocarcinoma of the cervix in pregnancy.•LEEP conization at 33.3 weeks gestation led to premature rupture of membranes. Following cesarean section, a radical hysterectomy was performed.
