description

Radical hysterectomy with lymph node dissection represents the standard treatment for early-stage cervical cancer, alternative surgical approaches able to spare reproductive organs have been developed. In this context, vaginal radical trachelectomy (VRT) with laparoscopic lymphadenectomy represents the gold standard for fertility sparing surgery in early stage cervical cancer patients. In selected cases laparoscopic radical trachelectomy (LRT) may offer specific advantages. In this manuscript, we report a literature review and describe this surgical approach step by step.
