Abstract
Objectives: The recommended surgical treatment for stages IA2–IB1 cervical cancer is radical hysterectomy with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy and consequent loss of fertility. Recent literature describes abdominal radical trachelectomy (ART) as a procedure that preserves the uterus without increasing the risk of recurrence while affording the opportunity to retain childbearing potential. This study was performed to assess the feasibility and safety of this fertility-preserving surgery for early-stage cervical cancer. We describe the surgical, oncologic, and fertility outcomes of patients treated with ART.
