OBJECTIVE Cervical cancer (CC) continues to be a global burden for women, with higher incidence and mortality rates reported annually. Many countries have witnessed a dramatic reduction in the prevalence of CC due to widely accessed robotic radical hysterectomy (RRH). This network meta-analysis aims to compare intraoperative and postoperative outcomes in way of RRH, laparoscopic radical hystere...

UNLABELLED Rationale The current standard surgical treatment for the cervix and uterine cancer is the radical hysterectomy (lymphadenohysterocolpectomy). This has the risk of intraoperative accidents and postoperative associated morbidity. Objective The purpose of this article is the evaluation and quantification of the associated complications in comparison to the postoperative morbidity which...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk factors of vaginal cuff dehiscence or evisceration according to the type of operation. METHODS Medical records of 604 women who underwent hysterectomies at Korea University Anam Hospital between June 2007 and June 2011 were reviewed. They were allocated to six groups. The six types of hysterectomies included robotic hysterectomy (n = 7)...

Improvement of the treatment results in patients with endometrial carcinoma has been achieved by a multidisciplinary approach including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, similar to the case for many other carcinomas. Although total hysterectomy/bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TH/BSO), pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy and peritoneal cytology are often required, cases with early carc...

UNLABELLED The development of robotic technology has facilitated the application of minimally invasive techniques for the treatment and evaluation of patients with early, advanced, and recurrent cervical cancer. The application of robotic technology for selected patients with cervical cancer and the data available in the literature are addressed in the present review paper. The robotic radical ...

twenty patients with bulky (>4 cm size) figo stage ib cervical cancer were treated with cisplatin 50 mg/m2 and vincristine 1 mg/m2, administered intravenously at 10-day intervals for a total of 3 courses before radical hysterectomy. a complete clinical response was noted in 1 patient (5%) and partial response in 5 (25%). fourteen patients (70%) had stable disease. there was no grade 3 toxicity ...

Robot-assisted procedures are being increasingly incorporated in gynaecologic oncology. Several studies have confirmed the feasibility and safety of robotic radical hysterectomy for selected patients with early-stage cervical cancer. It has been demonstrated that robotic radical hysterectomy offers an advantage over other surgical approaches with regard to operative time, blood loss, and hospit...

Iatrogenic ureteric injury is a well-recognised complication of radical hysterectomy. Bilateral ureteric injuries are rare, but do pose a considerable reconstructive challenge. We searched a prospectively acquired departmental database of ureteric injuries to identify patients with bilateral ureteric injury following radical hysterectomy. Five patients suffered bilateral ureteric injury over a ...

Radical hysterectomy combined with a pelvic lymphadenectomy or chemoradiation are traditionally the mainstays of treatment of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stages Ia2-IIa cervical cancer. The quality of radical surgery for cervical cancer influences local tumor control and survival. Hence, it is important to optimize and ensure the quality of surgical care for cervical c...
