Long-Term Oncological Outcome After Conventional Radical Hysterectomy Versus 2 Nerve-Sparing Modalities for Early Stage Cervical Cancer.

Objectives: Nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy for early stage cervical cancer was introduced to improve quality of life after treatment. Sparing the pelvic autonomic nerves reduces bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunction. The Leiden nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (LNSRH) was modified to the Swift procedure, the latter being more radical regarding the sacrouterine and parametrial resection.
