Laparoscopic radical trachelectomy offers a fertility-preserving option for early cervical cancer. This minimally invasive approach, including pelvic lymphadenectomy, shows promise for women desiring future pregnancy.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Radical trachelectomy is a fertility-sparing treatment for early-stage cervical cancer.
  • Abdominal radical trachelectomy is the current standard, but laparoscopic approaches are emerging.
  • Laparoscopy offers potential advantages in surgical procedures.

Observation:

  • A case study details a laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy with radical trachelectomy in a young woman with IB cervical cancer.
  • The procedure was completed without intraoperative or postoperative complications.
  • Key metrics included a 250-minute operation time and 250 ml blood loss.

Findings:

  • The laparoscopic approach demonstrated feasibility and safety in this case.
  • Postoperative follow-up of 9 months was uneventful.

  • The patient maintained normal menstrual patterns and satisfactory sexual function.

    • Implications:

    • Laparoscopic radical trachelectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy may be a viable alternative for early cervical cancer patients desiring pregnancy.
    • The technique is similar to standard laparoscopic radical hysterectomy, potentially simplifying adoption.
    • Surgical centers experienced in laparoscopic radical hysterectomy can readily implement this procedure.
