Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Robotics

Background:

  • Radical trachelectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy is a fertility-sparing treatment for early cervical cancer.
  • Traditionally, this procedure combines vaginal trachelectomy with laparoscopic lymphadenectomy due to surgical complexity.
  • A novel robot-assisted laparoscopic approach for radical trachelectomy is presented, eliminating the need for a vaginal component.

Observation:

  • Two nulliparous women with early cervical cancer underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical trachelectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy.
  • The surgical technique involved sentinel lymph node identification, meticulous dissection sparing key uterine vessels, and transsection of the cervix and vagina.
  • A permanent cerclage was placed, and the procedure was completed without perioperative complications.

Findings:

  • Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical trachelectomy is a feasible surgical option.
  • The procedure successfully preserved fertility potential in the studied cases.
  • The technique avoids the combined laparoscopic and vaginal approach, simplifying the surgical process.

Implications:

  • This approach may offer a less invasive option for fertility preservation in early cervical cancer.
  • Wider adoption of robot-assisted surgery could enhance outcomes and reduce morbidity in gynecologic oncology.
  • Further research is warranted to evaluate long-term oncologic and reproductive outcomes.
