title: [Results of radical Wertheim's operation 1964 to 1972 (author's transl)].
abstract: In the years 1964 to 1972 239 women with cervical carcinoma were treated by extended abdominal radical (Wertheim's) operation at the II. Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Vienna. The total number of invasive cervical carcinomas is decreasing in comparison with previous years, but the figure of 40% cases treated surgically remains stable. 69.5% of the women are alive after a 5-year observation period, the figure for stage Ib being 71.4% and for stage II 55.2%. In cases with positive lymph nodes an improved 5-year survival rate is demonstrated and the total number of patients who died of carcinoma is reduced in comparison with the respective figures for previous years.
