    Surgical removal of the cervical stump is feasible, especially during vaginal repairs. This procedure, even in cases of malignancy, demonstrates low risks and minimal complications for patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Surgery
    • Oncologic Surgery

    Background:

    • Cervical stump remnant after hysterectomy can lead to complications.
    • Malignancy can arise in the cervical stump, necessitating further intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of cervical stump removal.
    • To assess outcomes in patients with cervical stump malignancy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 262 cervical stump removals over 25 years.
    • Analysis of surgical approach (vaginal vs. abdominal) and patient outcomes.
    • Inclusion of cases with cervical stump malignancy.

    Main Results:

    • Vaginal removal (208 cases) was more common than abdominal (54 cases).

  • 46 patients in the series had cervical stump malignancy.
  • Cervical stump removal, particularly vaginally, was associated with low morbidity and few complications.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cervical stump removal is a safe and effective procedure.
    • Vaginal approach is often preferred and can be combined with other vaginal repairs.
    • Prompt surgical intervention is recommended for symptomatic cervical stumps or those with malignancy.
