Uterine artery sparing robotic radical trachelectomy (AS-RRT) for early cancer of the cervix.

Objective: To describe the surgical technique of uterine artery sparing robotic assisted radical trachelectomy (AS-RRT) for early stage cervical cancer.

Methods: We used our experience with AS-RRT performed at the University of Wisconsin-Carbone Comprehensive Cancer Center, USA, to present a detailed description of the surgical technique.

Results: The report details, step-by-step, our innovative surgical technique, supported by photos and illustrations.

Radical vaginal versus abdominal trachelectomy for stage IB1 cervical cancer: a comparison of surgical and pathologic outcomes.

Objectives: To compare the surgical and pathologic outcomes utilizing two surgical approaches for fertility-sparing radical trachelectomy in patients with stage IB1 cervical cancer.

Methods: A prospectively maintained database of vaginal radical trachelectomy (VRT) and abdominal radical trachelectomy (ART) procedures was analyzed. All procedures were performed in a standardized manner by the same surgical group.
