Radical Hysterectomy Techniques — Indications and Complications

Abstract

Radical hysterectomy is an important surgical procedure in gynecologic oncology. New technologies are changing hysterectomy techniques, and integrated treatments could expand the surgical indications in gynecologic oncology. Minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic surgery) radical hysterectomy adoption is slowed by different factors despite the apparent improvement of morbidity outcomes. Moreover, data about oncologic long-term outcomes of minimally invasive radical hysterectomy are relatively sparse, and more research is needed.
