ABSTRACT
Thirty patients of cervical carcinoma were treated by radical abdominal hysterectomy and pelvic and lower paraaortic lymphadenectomy between November 1986 and October 1988 by the 'Tokyo method.' Blood loss in the majority of the patients (80%) was less than 1000 ml. The incidence of intra and postoperative complications was found to be low. None of the patients developed urinary fistula and the incidence of bladder dysfunction was also low (3.3%). Follow up of the patients for nine to 32 months revealed local recurrent tumour in only one case. We feel that the "Tokyo method" of radical hysterectomy offers several advantages over other methods.
