[Surgery in advanced cervical cancer].
The aim of this study was to highlight the importance of surgical treatment in advanced cervical cancer (IIB-IIIB).


METHODS
Data from 179 patients with cervical cancer, admitted in the Clinic of Emergency Surgery, "Sf. Ioan" Hospital, Iaşi, between January, 1st, 2003 and December, 31st, 2009, were collected.


RESULTS
A number of 11 cases (6.1%) cases were without any clinical response, so that they benefit by radical radiotherapy; a radical surgical intervention was performed in the other 168 cases (93.7%), in 4-6 weeks after chemotherapy. No intraoperative complications were evidenced, but after surgical intervention we recorded: urinary troubles--10 (6.5%); lymphedema--3 (1.9%); posttoperative intestinal occlusions--2 (1.3%); extended dynamic ileus--2 (1.3%); phlebitis--2 (1.3%).
