Cervical cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the female reproductive tract, and due to its lack of early symptoms, some of them are already at an advanced stage when discovered by Ji Mei of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University.
stage. However, if it can be detected early and the cancer stage is before stage IIa, surgery is often the preferred treatment method. The classic surgical procedure for cervical cancer is
The classic surgical procedure for cervical cancer is extensive hysterectomy + pelvic lymph node dissection (radical cervical cancer surgery).
Before 2000, this type of surgery was often done in an open way, but after 2000, with the development of minimally invasive technology – laparoscopic technology, this type of surgery has been replaced by laparoscopic surgery.
After 2000, with the development of minimally invasive technology – laparoscopy, these procedures have been replaced by laparoscopic surgery. With the help of laparoscopy, it is possible to perform not only the classic cervical cancer surgery, but also the simultaneous ovarian transposition in young patients.
With the help of laparoscopy, it is possible to perform not only classic cervical cancer surgery, but also ovarian transposition + vaginal lengthening and even radical cervical cancer surgery with preservation of the pelvic nerves in young patients.
Compared to open surgery, the greatest advantages of radical cervical cancer surgery using laparoscopy are.
1. minimally invasive and fast postoperative recovery.
2. laparoscopy has magnifying effect, clear surgical field, less intraoperative bleeding and complete lesion removal
3. less surgical complications, especially less chance of pelvic lymphatic cysts.
4. complete removal of lymph nodes and less likely to remain.
Some people worry that laparoscopic surgery may not be complete in treating cervical cancer, which is actually a misunderstanding, and the real effect is just the opposite.
The author has been applying laparoscopy to treat gynecological diseases for 14 years, and in recent years, he has applied laparoscopy to treat cervical cancer and has deep experience, with
Clear visual field, less bleeding, fast recovery, fewer complications, and significantly improved patient survival and quality of life. However, laparoscopic technology is a high-tech technology, which is different from open surgery.
However, laparoscopic technology is a high-tech technology, which, like open surgery, requires the surgeon to have not only solid basic medical knowledge and rich experience in open surgery, but also good knowledge and experience in laparoscopy.
However, laparoscopic technique is a high-tech technique, which, like open surgery, requires surgeons to have not only solid basic medical knowledge and rich experience in open surgery, but also good spatial thinking ability and abundant physical strength, one of which is indispensable.
