Vaginal-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Hysterectomy and Pelvic Lymphadenectomy

Radical hysterectomy in combination with pelvic lymphadenectomy is the standard surgical treatment for patients affected by early stage cervical cancer. Worldwide the majority of radical hysterectomies are performed by laparotomy. However, laparoscopic, combined laparoscopic-vaginal, and robotic-assisted approaches are increasingly used over the last 30 years.
