Surgical approach to cervical cancer and consider nerve sparing radical hysterectomies

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video reviews the surgical approach to early-stage cervical cancer, focusing on nerve-sparing radical hysterectomies. It explains updated FIGO staging, surgical classifications (types A-D), and emphasizes preserving pelvic autonomic nerves without compromising radicality. The procedure includes sentinel lymph node mapping, careful dissection of pelvic spaces and vessels, and tumor containment techniques such as the Wertheim clamp or stapling device to prevent cancer cell spread. Minimally invasive approaches are highlighted for maintaining oncologic safety. Overall, the video underscores balancing effective tumor removal with minimizing postoperative complications in cervical cancer surgery.
