What may be affected by the choice of surgical procedure for cervical cancer?

  With the advancement of minimally invasive techniques, many doctors prefer to use laparoscopic surgery to manage cervical cancer patients, as patients are not aware of the possible adverse effects of laparoscopic surgery on patient prognosis. Laparoscopic extensive hysterectomy requires the use of a uterine manipulator, which can press against the cervical cancer focus, and the squeezing may push the cancer cells into the surrounding lymphatic vessels and promote distant metastasis of the cancer cells. When the uterus is removed, the cancerous lesion is exposed to the wound and the abdominal cavity, and there is a possibility of planting cancer cells in the wound and the abdominal cavity. In contrast, open surgery does not have the above disadvantages. Open surgery is beneficial to the prognosis of cervical cancer patients and is less prone to recurrence. Therefore, as a patient, you should pay attention to this point.
