title: [Repair surgery in the treatment of cancer of the cervical remnant].
abstract: The protocol recommended at the Centre Alexis Vautrin for the treatment of cancer of the cervical remnant is purely radiographic. The authors investigates repair surgery after the failure of radiotherapy in 8 cases, representing 9.3% of cases. He defines cancer of the cervical remnant by stressing the importance of a particularly difficult assessment of the extension and the methods of treatment. The series included 5 cases of cervicocolpectomies and 3 pelvic exenterations. The context was particularly unfavorable since the tumor had been irradiated and had developed a scarred region. Serious complications were not present in this series, but they should be recognized so that they can be prevented and some procedures adapted to local conditions, which include bladder, rectal and ureteral fistulae, occlusion and pelvic abscess. The rationale for surgery is based on the possibility of a cure and the prevention of locoregional progress which may be particularly painful and handicapping.
