Laparoscopic Radical Hysterectomy for Early-stage Cervical Cancer

Abstract

Total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (TLRH) for early-stage cervical cancer is a safe and feasible procedure. The advantages over abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) include shorter operating times, less blood loss, lower transfusion rates, and a shorter hospital stay. Robotic radical hysterectomy (RRH) offers an alternate minimally invasive approach to performing radical hysterectomy. Robotic surgery provides improved depth perception, a greater range of motion of surgical instruments, decreased tremor, and improved ergonomics compared with laparoscopic surgery.
