[The historical development of radical vaginal operation of cervix carcinoma].
Reviewing the historical development of radical vaginal surgery for the treatment of cervical cancer the different variations of this technique are defined. In 1880 the first modified radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer was performed by Pawlik. Radical vaginal hysterectomy is associated with the name of Schauta who further developed and categorized the technique. The most important modifications were done by Stoeckel and Peham/Amreich. Extraperitoneal dissection of pelvic lymph nodes was combined with radical vaginal hysterectomy by Stoeckel in 1928.
