ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss clinical effect and feasibility of laparoscopic pelvic lymphadendenectomy assisted radical vaginal hysterectomy (LARVH) in the treatment of cervical cancer. Methods Laparoscopic pelvic lymphadendenectomy assisted radical vaginal hysteretomy was performed in 38 patients with cervical cancer. The operative quality and postoperative recovery effects were analyzed. Results All 38 patients were successfully performed with LARVH and no complications. The radical vaginal hysteretomy were performed in all of patients, 21.4±2.2 pelvic lymph nodes were removed. The average duration of surgery was (240±25.6) min and the average hemorrhage was (340±40.2) ml. There were 7 patients who needed blood transfusion during operation. After operation, the mean time for passage of gas by anus was (2±0.26) days, and the mean recovery time of bladder function was (10.5±1.3) days. Patients were discharged after (9.2±1.1) days on average. 38 patients had no complication. Conclusions For the treatment of uterine neoplasm, LARVH decreased operative damage with more short recovery time, same operative extent as laparotomy. It is an ideal way to treat uterine neoplasm currently.
