[Laparoscopically extended hysterectomy for cervix cancer: technique, indications and results. Apropos of a series of 41 cases in Clermont].
We report a study of 41 radical hysterectomies performed through laparoscopic approach for carcinoma of the cervix uteri. According to the FIGO staging, the tumors were classified as 12 stages Ia2, 24 stages Ib, 4 stages IIa and 1 stage IIb. 17 patients were treated by exclusive surgical procedure. 24 patients received a combination of radiation therapy and surgery 2 patients had a tumor of the cervical stump after subtotal hysterectomy. The mean duration of the procedure was 270 minutes. The post-op stay was 6.5 days. There was no major operative and postoperative complication. Only one patient required a blood transfusion. The intravenous pyelogram control was correct in all cases. At this time, with a 4 to 76 months follow-up, no recurrence was observed. This experience suggests the faisability of the laparoscopic radical hysterectomy. This approach seems to be convenient in young and non obese women with a tumor less than 4 cm in the greatest diameter.
