Abstract

Fertility-sparing surgery has gained popularity in the last three decades for the management of cervical cancer in women under 40 years of age. Radical trachelectomy is a fertility-sparing surgical technique for women who wish to retain their fertility. Vaginal-assisted laparoscopic radical trachelectomy is feasible in selected patients with early cervical cancer. The aim of this video is to present a nerve-sparing vaginal-assisted laparoscopic radical trachelectomy demonstrating pelvic anatomical structures.
