Abstract:
Traditionally, most women with cervical stump cancer underwent radiation therapy, as radical surgery was considered difficult. Given our success performing laparoscopic-assisted radical vaginal hysterectomy, we modified that technique to treat two women with carcinoma of the cervical stump. At follow-up of 14 and 17 months, respectively, both patients were free of recurrence.
