Modified radical hysterectomy: morbidity and mortality.
Among 375 patients who underwent a modified radical hysterectomy at the Mayo Clinic, the complication rate was 24%, and the operative mortality was 0.5%. When compared with radical hysterectomy, this procedure is associated with a lower overall incidence of complications, particularly those related to the urinary tract.
