Abstract :

Open radical hysterectomy and bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection has been the standard sur gical treatment for early stage cervical cancer for more than 100 years. Laparoscopic radical hys- terectomy is emerging as the new standard. The aim of the study is to compare the short term surgical outcome of laparoscopic versus open radical hysterectomy for carcinoma cervix. Carci-noma cervix patients undergoing radical hysterectomy for stage I and stage IIA at the Depart-ment of Surgical Oncology, Yashoda Hospital, a multispecialty hospital in Secunderabad, Hyde-rabad, Telangana, from June 2013 to February 2016 were included in the study. In conclusion, we found that short-term surgical outcomes after laparoscopic radical hysterectomy were compa-rable to those after open radical hysterectomy in patients with FIGO stage IB1 and IIA1 cervical cancer. Compared with open, laparoscopic radical hysterectomy resulted in favorable surgical outcomes, including reduced blood loss, early return of bowel function, shorter length of hospital stay, lower rates of perioperative complications, early return to normal activities and equivalent surgico-pathological outcome. In FIGO stage IB2 and IIA1 carcinoma cervix patients, the supe-rior short term outcomes revealed by our study, raise laparoscopic radical hysterectomy as the oncologically better option of surgical management over open radical hysterectomy.
