Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates urologic complications following radical type C2 hysterectomy in cervical cancer patients, comparing outcomes with and without perioperative ureteral stenting.
  • The study included 76 patients, randomly divided into two groups: one receiving ureteral stenting (24 patients) and the other not (52 patients), focusing on complications like ureter and bladder lesions as well as fistulas.
  • Results showed that urologic complications were more common in the group without stenting (10.5% vs. 2.6%), indicating that stenting may help reduce these risks during and after surgery.*
