ABSTRACT
With relatively short-term follow-up, the pooled published recurrence and death rates (4.2 % and 2.8 % , respectively) following radical vaginal trachelectomy appear comparable to the traditional radical abdominal hysterectomy. 10 Moreover, a 70 % pregnancy rate has been described in women trying to conceive. 10 With a radical abdominal trachelectomy, the parametrial resection is identical to the traditional Type III radical hysterectomy. Oncologic outcomes should also be comparable; however, longer follow-up with a larger patient population is needed.
