Indications for surgery for cervical cancer

Surgery is not recommended for patients with cervical cancer above stage IIb; below stage IIb surgery is performed based on indications such as medical history and clinical manifestations, such as patients with severe heart disease, emphysema, or serious bleeding tendency, which are not suitable for surgery, while other patients are recommended to have surgery as the main treatment. Patients with stage Ia1 and fertility requirements can consider cervical conization; stage Ia2 or above consider total hysterectomy and whether to perform extensive total hysterectomy according to the condition; stage IIa2 or above patients are mainly treated with radiotherapy. After cervical cancer surgery, the patient should lie flat on the pillow for 6 hours, so that the patient’s head is tilted to the side to prevent vomit or sputum from entering the trachea and causing asphyxia. 6 hours later, the patient should be instructed to turn over in bed to facilitate gastrointestinal peristalsis. Because of the large scope of cervical cancer surgery, it is easy to cause traumatic bleeding, and vital signs need to be monitored.
