Video Summary

This video discusses radical trachelectomy as a fertility-preserving treatment for cervical cancer. Uterine blood supply, particularly via the raw ligament and Samson's artery, is crucial for uterine perfusion and fertility. In a case of a 34-year-old woman with early-stage cervical cancer, surgeons preserved the raw ligament and clipped uterine arteries during laparoscopic radical trachelectomy. Using indocyanine green fluorescence, they confirmed good uterine blood flow through the raw ligament and Samson's artery despite arterial clipping. The conclusion emphasizes preserving the raw ligament to maintain uterine perfusion, highlighting Samson's arteries as vital in sustaining uterine blood supply post-surgery.
