ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare initial surgical outcomes and complication rates of patients with early-stage cervical cancer who underwent robotic radical hysterectomy (RRH) and conventional laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH).MethodsPatients diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage I-IIA) who underwent RRH (n = 23) at Samsung Medical Center from January 2008 to May 2013 were compared with matched patients who underwent LRH (n = 69) during the same period. The 2 surgical groups were matched 3:1 for variables of age, body mass index, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage, histological subtype, tumor size, and node positivity. All patient information and surgical and postoperative follow-up data were retrospectively collected.ResultsOperating time was significantly longer (317 vs 236 minutes; P < 0.001) in the RRH group compared with the LRH group but mean estimated blood loss was significantly reduced in the RRH group (200 vs 350 mL; P = 0.036). Intraoperative and postoperative complications were not significantly different between the 2 groups (4.3% for RRH vs 1.45% for LRH; P = 0.439). Recurrences were 2 (8.7%) in the RRH and 7 (10.1%) in the LRH group. The overall 3-year recurrence-free survival was 91.3% in RRH group and 89.9% in the LRH group (P = 0.778).ConclusionsAlthough operating time was longer in the RRH cases because of lesser experience on robotic platform, we showed that surgical outcomes and complication rate of RRH were comparable to those of LRH. In addition, surgical skills for LRH easily and safely translated to RRH in case of experienced laparoscopic surgeon.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of robotic-assisted radical hysterectomy (RRH) with traditional laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (TLRH) for the treatment of early-stage cervical cancer in a large retrospective cohort of a total of 933 patients.MethodsWe have enrolled 100 patients into the RRH and 833 patients into the TLRH group. The surgical outcomes include operating time, blood loss, transfusion rate, pelvic lymph node yield, hospitalization days, duration of bowel function recovery, catheter removal before and after 3 weeks, conversion to laparotomy, and intraoperative and postoperative complications. Follow-up results were also analyzed for all patients.ResultsBoth groups have similar patient and tumor characteristics but patients with a larger lesion size were preferably enrolled in the TLRH treatment group. The treatment with RRH was generally superior to TLRH with respect to operating time, blood loss, length of hospitalization, duration of bowel function recovery, and postoperative complications. On follow-up of patients, there were no relapses reported in the RRH group compared with 4% of relapse cases and 2.9% of deaths because of metastasis in the TLRH group. No conversion of laparotomy occurred in the RRH group. No significant difference was found with respect to intraoperative complications and blood transfusion between both groups.ConclusionsThe results from this study suggest that RRH is superior to TLRH with regard to surgical outcome and may pose a safe and feasible alternative to TLRH. The operating time and lymph node yield is acceptable. Our study is one of the largest single-center studies of surgical outcomes comparing RRH with TLRH during cervical cancer treatment and will significantly contribute to the safety of alternative treatment options for patients. Furthermore, the difference detected between TLRH and RRH group is further strengthened by the great expertise of the surgeon performing laparoscopic surgeries.

ObjectiveThere have been many comparative reports on laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) versus abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) for early-stage cervical cancer. However, most of these studies included patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IA2 and small (tumor diameter ≤2 or 3 cm) IB1 disease. The purpose of this study was to compare the feasibility, morbidity, and recurrence rate of LRH and ARH for FIGO stage IB and IIA cervical cancer with tumor diameter of 3 cm or greater.Materials and MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 88 patients with FIGO stage IB and IIA cervical cancer with tumor diameter of 3 cm or greater. All patients had no evidence of parametrial invasion and lymph node metastasis in preoperative gynecologic examination, pelvic magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography–computed tomography, and they all underwent LRH or ARH between February 2006 and March 2013.ResultsAmong 88 patients, 40 patients received LRH whereas 48 underwent ARH. The mean estimated blood loss was 588.0 mL for the ARH group compared with 449.1 mL for the LRH group (P< 0.001). The mean operating time was similar in both groups (246.0 minutes in the ARH vs 254.5 minutes in the LRH group,P= 0.589). Return of bowel motility was observed earlier after LRH (1.8 vs 2.2 days,P= 0.042). The mean hospital stay was significantly shorter for the LRH group (14.8 vs 18.0 days,P= 0.044). There were no differences in histopathologic characteristics between the 2 groups. The mean tumor diameter was 44.4 mm in the LRH and 45.3 mm in the ARH group. Disease-free survival rates were 97.9% in the ARH and 97.5% in the LRH group (P= 0.818).ConclusionsLaparoscopic radical hysterectomy might be a feasible therapeutic procedure for the management of FIGO stage IB and IIA cervical cancer with tumor diameter of 3 cm or greater. Further randomized studies that could support this approach are necessary to evaluate long-term clinical outcome.

Introduction. Since 1897, when the first radical hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy was done by Wertheim in Vienna, this operation has had the central role in the surgical treatment of invasive cervical tumors. Material and methods. In the period from 1997 to 2010, 177 patients diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IB1 - II were operated at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Banja Luka. All patients underwent radical hysterectomy by Wertheim - Meigs. The aim of this study is to present the technique of this operation, as well as its effectiveness in the treatment of cervical cancer. Results. The distribution of the patients having invasive cervical cancer according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics classification was as follows: I B1 - 35.67%, I B2 - 23.17%, II A - 15.48%, II B - 25.68% on average is 21.3 removed lymph glands. The rate of intraoperative and postoperative complications was 8 (4.51%) and 17 (9.60%), respectively. Of the 26 patients who were operated in the period from 2005 - 2010, 13 had stage II B according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics; there were 6 lethal outcomes (23.08) and the five-year survival rate was 76.92%. Discussion and conclusion. By applying the proper surgical technique and early prevention of immediate complications, we achieved satisfactory results in operative morbity and mortality, intraoperative and postoperative complications of the lesion for radical surgery by the Wertheim- Meigs-in the treatment of cancer of the uterus in the I B - II B stage according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics classification.

Introduction. During the period from 1993 - 2013, 175 women with invasive cervical cancer underwent radical hysterectomy sec. Wertheim-Meigs at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Clinical Center of Vojvodina in Novi Sad. Indications for radical hysterectomy comprise histopathologically confirmed invasive cervical cancer in stages I B 1 - II B according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Material and Methods. Stage of the disease or extent of the disease spread to the adjacent structures was assessed in accordance with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging system from 2009. Exclusion criteria were all other stages of this disease: I A and stages higher than II B, as well as the absence of definite histological confirmation of the cervical cancer (primary endometrial or vaginal cancer which infiltrates the uterine cervix). Prior the operation, the following had to be done: the imaging of pelvis and abdomen, chest X-ray in two directions, electrocardiography, internist and anesthesiological examination. Results. The patients? age ranged from 24-79 years (x : 46 years), and the operation duration was 120-300 minutes (x : 210 min.). Stage I B 1 was found in 64.6% of operated patients, 14.8% of the patients were in stage I B 2, 9.1% were in stage II A and 11.4 % were in stage II B. Blood loss during the operation ranged from 50-800 ml (on average 300 ml), and the number of removed lymph nodes per operation was 14-75 (x : 32). Intraoperative and postoperative complications developed in 6.8% of and 17.7% of patients, respectively. Recurrence was reported in 22 (12.5%) patients, most often in paraaortic lymph nodes (3.4%) and parametria (2.8%), while the overall 5-year survival rate was 87% until 2008. Concluision. Wertheim-Meigs radical hysterectomy is a basic surgical technique for the treatment of initial stages of invasive cervical cancer.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to report the experience and oncological outcome of robot-assisted radical hysterectomies (RRHs) for cervical cancer performed in Belgium.MethodsPatients undergoing RRH for cervical cancer (n = 109) were prospectively collected between July 2007 and April 2014 in the 5 Belgian centers performing RRH for cervical cancer.ResultsThe median age of the patients was 46 years (range, 31–80 years). Histological types included squamous cell carcinoma in 61 patients, adenocarcinoma in 22 patients, adenosquamous in 8 patients, endometrioid carcinoma in 2 patients, and other types (n = 16). The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage distribution was IA (n = 9), stage IB1 (n = 71), stage IB2 (n = 4), stage II (n = 24), and unknown (n = 1). Twenty-four patients received adjuvant therapy, 17 patients underwent radiochemotherapy, and 7 underwent adjuvant radiation. Eighteen patients relapsed, and 5 died of disease. The median follow-up was 27.5 months (range, 3–82 months). The 2- and 5-year overall survivals were 96% and 89%, respectively. The 2- and 5-year disease-free survivals (DFSs) were 88% and 72%, respectively. The 2-year DFS per stage was 100% for IA, 88% for IB1, 100% for IB2, and 83% for II. The 5-year DFS per stage was 100% for stage IA and 75% for IB1. The complications were as expected for radical hysterectomy.ConclusionsThis series confirms the feasibility and safety of RRH not only in cervical cancer stage IA to IB1, but also after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in stage IB2 to IIB.

Objective:(1) To determine the correlation of 2008 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging system with survival in patients with stage IIA cervical cancer, (2) to elucidate the treatment patterns in stage IIA1 and stage IIA2 cervical cancer, and (3) to investigate whether radical hysterectomy or radiation influenced overall survival.Methods:Data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database between 1988 and 2005. Statistical analysis usedχ2test, Kaplan-Meier method, Cox regression, and logistic regression.Results:Of the 560 women, 271 (48.4%) had stage IIA1, and 289 (51.6%) had stage IIA2 cervical cancer. Stage IIA2 patients were younger than stage IIA1 patients (mean age, 49 years vs 54 years;P= 0.01). Stage IIA1, compared with stage IIA2, differed significantly regarding the administration of primary radiation (47.2% vs 64.7%,P< 0.001) and adjuvant radiation (60.5% vs 77.5%,P= 0.006). The following variables were significantly associated with the performance of radical hysterectomy: patient age, 65 years or younger, tumor size, ≤2 cm or lesser, high tumor grade, and nonsquamous tumor histology. The incidence of adjuvant radiation after radical hysterectomy was high (48% [tumor size, ≤2 cm] to 86% [tumor size, >6 cm]). The 5-year overall survival was not significantly different between stages IIA1 and IIA2 (65.8% vs 59.5%,P= 0.2). Only patient age (P= 0.01), tumor size (P= 0.02), and lymph node status (P= 0.002) were independent predictors of survival. When controlled for other contributing factors, there was no significant difference in survival between patients treated by radical hysterectomy and primary radiation.Conclusions:The 2008 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging criteria is not an independent predictor of survival in stage IIA cervical cancer. Given the equivalent efficacy of radical hysterectomy and radiation, attention should be paid to the high risk of adjuvant radiation in these patients.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to compare surgical outcomes using modified (type II) and traditional (type III) abdominal radical trachelectomy (ART) for fertility-sparing surgery in early cervical cancer.MethodsA prospectively maintained database of ART procedures was analyzed. Data were collected regarding age, stage, histology, operative outcome, surgical complication, and fertility outcome.ResultsWe performed 23 fertility-sparing ARTs for patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stages IA to IB1 tumors of less than 2 cm between 2006 and 2010. Type III ART was attempted in 8 patients and modified ART in 15 patients. The median operating time was greater in the type III group compared with that in the type II group (305 vs 247 minutes; P < 0.02). The median surgical blood loss was greater in the type III ART group (580 mL; range, 250–988 mL) compared with that in the modified type II group (366 mL; range, 200–850 mL; P < 0.05). The median time to recovery of bladder dysfunction was less in the type II group (9 days; range, 3–10 days) than that in the type III group (13 days; range, 10–23 days; P < 0.01). There were no recurrences at the time of this report.ConclusionsType II ART provides surgical and pathological outcomes with better recovery of bladder function similar to those in type III ART. For patients with early cervical cancer who wish to preserve reproductive function, type II ART is a feasible and safe operation.
