Clinical Effect of Laparoscopic Radical Hysterectomy on Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma / 中国医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). Methods The clinical data of 83 CSCC patients in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The open surgery group (n = 43) underwent traditional transabdominal radical hysterectomy and PLND, while the laparoscopy group (n = 40) underwent laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and PLND. Intraoperative and postoperative indices were compared between the two groups. Results The intraoperative bleeding volume in stage ⅠB1 and ⅡAl patients in the open surgery group was greater than in the laparoscopy group. The operative duration was shorter and fewer lymph nodes were dissected in the open surgery group than in the laparoscopy group (P ＜ 0.05). The time to flatus, fever duration, and hospital stay in stage ⅠB1 and ⅡA1 patients in the open surgery group were longer than in the laparoscopy group (P ＜ 0.05). The frequency of painkiller use in stage ⅡA1 patients in the open surgery group was greater than in the laparoscopy group (P ＜ 0.05). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications between the ⅠB1 and ⅡA1 groups (P＞ 0.05). The physical fitness and social function scores and the adverse effects were significantly different in the open surgery group from those in the laparoscopy group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and PLND for CSCC can reduce intraoperative bleeding volume, increase the number of lymph nodes dissected, shorten the fever duration and hospital stay, and increase the quality of life.
