The purpose of the studywas to review available data on various techniques for radical trachelectomy, inclusion criteria, advantages and disadvantages.Material and methods.A systematic literature search was conducted in the electronic databases of Medline, Russian Science Citation Index, and Russian State Library in the interval time between 1997 and 2017.Results.To date, only radical trachelectomy has shown its value regarding both aspects of oncologic and reproductive outcomes in patients with invasive cervical cancer. There are currently 5 approaches to radical trachelectomy: transvaginal approach with laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy, abdominal, laparoscopic, robot-assisted and laparoscopic – vaginal approach. Each technique has its advantages and disadvantages.Conclusion.Over the last years, radical trachelectomy has been recognized as a valuable fertility-preserving option for women of child-bearing age with invasive cervical cancer. Radical trachelectomy should be performed by highly skilled surgeons in specialized clinics.

The development and implementation of organ-preserving treatment modalities is the priority trend in the current cancer treatment of patients of the reproductive age. Methods of expanding indications for organ-preserving treatment in cancer patients are becoming relevant. We present our experience in performing radical trachelectomy with uterine transposition in patients with stage IB-II cervical cancer. Our surgical technique allows the preservation of the uterus and adnexa in patients with invasive cervical cancer, who need to receive combined modality treatment including extended surgery followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy to the pelvis. Transposition of the uterus and adnexa after radical abdominal or laparoscopic trachelectomy allows the movement of the uterus and ovaries out of the radiation field. After completion of radiation therapy, the uterus with adnexa is repositioned into the pelvis and uterine-vaginal anastomosis is formed using an implant made of titanium nickelide. Independent pregnancy and the use of assisted reproductive technologies are permitted after passing the time when distant metastases are most likely to develop.

Radical trachelectomy combined with pelvic lymphadenectomy has been used to treat patients with early-stage cervical cancer who wish to preserve their fertility. Vaginal, abdominal, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches have been employed during this procedure, but all cause peritoneal damage, which could result in periadnexal adhesion. As periadnexal adhesion can lead to female infertility due to restricted sweeping of the fimbria over the ovary, it is important to minimize peritoneal damage during the fertility-preserving surgery. Aiming to minimize peritoneal damage, we recently developed a new surgical approach. The techniques used are similar to those used for type III radical hysterectomy; however, all procedures are performed via the extraperitoneal approach.In this video article, we describe a step-by-step technique of this new fertility-preserving surgical procedure. Surgical procedures are as follows: (1) extraperitoneal pelvic lymphadenectomy, (2) excision of the vesicohypogastric fascia and median umbilical ligament, (3) bladder dissection from the peritoneum and identification of uterine cervix, (4) transection of the cardinal ligaments and vesicouterine ligaments, (5) transection of the vagina, (6) excision of the rectovaginal and uterosacral ligaments, (7) transection of the uterine cervix, (8) cervical cerclage and placement of a Foley catheter, (9) anastomosis of the uterine cervix, (10) suture of the median umbilical ligament and vesicohypogastric fascia. During these procedures, the uterine arteries, inferior hypogastric nerve, and pelvic splanchnic nerve were preserved. The advantages of this new surgical approach are first, peritoneal injuries can be completely avoided as the procedure is performed extraperitoneally, and second, it can be carried out using conventional low-cost instruments. In view of these features, we consider that this technique could be an ideal treatment option for selected women with early-stage cervical cancer. The oncological and reproductive outcomes of this new surgical approach need to be evaluated in future clinical studies.

Abstract Background The common complications of radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy usually include wound infection, hemorrhage or hematomas, lymphocele, uretheral injury, ileus and incisional hernias. However, internal hernia secondary to the orifice associated with the uncovered vessels after pelvic lymphadenectomy is very rare. Case presentation We report a case of internal hernia with intestinal perforation beneath the superior vesical artery that occurred one month after laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical cancer. A partial ileum resection was performed and the right superior vesical artery was transected to prevent recurrence of the internal hernia. Conclusions Retroperitonealization after the pelvic lymphadenectomy should be considered in patients with tortuous, elongated arteries which could be causal lesions of an internal hernia.
