Wertheim-Meigs operation in the Gynaecologic and Obstetric Institute of Sassari in the ten-year period 1980-89.
In a retrospective study we examined 42 radical hysterectomies according to Wertheim-Meigs in the ten year period 1980-89, of whom 39 for carcinoma of the cervix, two for endometrial carcinoma at stage II one for microinvasive vaginal carcinoma. The incidence of relapses was 11.9% (5 cases) globally, with 3.7% at pathologic stage I, while the actuarial survival was 95.4% at stage I. The intraoperative, perioperative and postactinic complications related to integrated treatment are described, underlining the importance of post-surgical Radiotherapy in cases at risk.
