Background:

Radical hysterectomy is a key treatment for uterine cancer.
Understanding uterine supports is crucial for surgical precision.
Previous procedures lacked detailed anatomical consideration of fascial and vascular systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To revise the surgical procedure for radical hysterectomy.
To enhance anatomical understanding of uterine supports, including venous, fascial, and neural structures.
To improve surgical outcomes and patient safety.

Main Methods:

Reclassification of anterior, middle, and posterior uterine supports into supporting (fascial) and drainage (areolar) systems.
Detailed dissection based on the continuity of these reclassified ligamentous structures.
Surgical execution involving initial fascia excision followed by areolar tissue dissection.

Main Results:

The revised procedure was performed on 15 uterine cancer patients over 2 years.
Mean operative time was 305.5 minutes with a mean blood loss of 592.0 mL.
Mean postoperative recovery for residual urine reduction to <50 mL was 14.3 days.

Conclusions:

The revised radical hysterectomy offers a more systematic and three-dimensional surgical approach.
Significant improvements in safety were observed, particularly in hemorrhage prevention.
Enhanced preservation of bladder function was a key benefit of the refined technique.
