title: [The role of radical abdominal hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy (Wertheim's operation) in contemporary gynecology].
abstract: During a 20-year period between January 1964 and December 1983, 317 radical hysterectomies and pelvic lymphadenectomies were performed for stage IB, IIA and IIB carcinoma of the cervix at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University Medical School of Debrecen. The 5-year survival rate for Stage IB patients is 88.3 per cent, in Stage IIA 82.7%, in Stage IIB 68.0% and the major prognostic factor clearly being the status of the pelvic lymph nodes. In comparison with the literary data their results seem to suggest that routine pre- and postoperative radiotherapy reduces pelvic metastases and improves survival in patients with positive pelvic lymph nodes. It was noted that closed retroperitoneal suction drainage after radical operation effectively removes fluid from the pelvis and probably prevents some of the postoperative complications. Evidence seems to suggest that properly performed radical pelvic surgery with radiation therapy is successful in treating early cervical carcinoma. There does not appear to be any contraindication to operation in this group of patient as long as the condition is deemed medically operable.
