Advanced Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) Training Program-Radical trachelectomy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video showcases a minimally invasive, fertility-sparing radical trachelectomy procedure for a 24-year-old patient with cervical cancer. The patient, diagnosed with high-grade dysplasia, underwent the ELITE procedure and opted for radical trachelectomy. The surgery involved sentinel lymph node mapping, dissection, and removal, followed by the removal of the cervix and upper vagina. Post-surgery, a cerclage was placed in the lower uterine segment. Pathology results showed a small residual tumor with negative lymph nodes. The procedure preserved fertility while effectively treating the cancer, highlighting the importance of tailored surgical approaches in young patients with early-stage cervical cancer.
