title: [Surgical treatment of cervical carcinoma (author's transl)].
abstract: At the Gynaecological Hospital of Rostock University radical abdominal surgery was performed on 321 cases of cervical carcinoma and radical vaginal surgery on 268 cases, between 1950 and 1972. The five-year survival rates were 73.5 or 83.8 per cent, respectively. Indications as well as morbidity and lethality of either approach are discussed, and the authors' personal experience is reported. - The value of lymphography has remained to be disputed. Reasons are given for general renunciation of presurgical irradiation and for sole use of radiological techniques and their limited applicability in postsurgical treatment.
