Abstract:
Radical vaginal trachelectomy (RVT) is the oldest fertility-sparing procedure for stage 1b cervical cancer. For that reason, there are more published data for RVT than for all the other radical trachelectomy approaches. However, there are no randomised controlled studies between RVT and radical hysterectomy proving the comparability of survival and no randomised controlled studies comparing a vaginal approach with open, standard laparoscopy and robotic approaches. This article intends to describe the case selection, the procedure and outcomes for RVT.
