Abstract:
Women in the reproductive age group diagnosed with cervical cancer can receive radical trachelectomy for fertility preservation. Extremely short cervix following radical trachelectomy could result in cervical incompetence. Although prophylactic cervicoisthmic cerclage is placed at the time of radical trachelectomy, it might not be sufficient to prolong pregnancy. We present a successful term pregnancy after laparoscopic radical trachelectomy and concurrent cervicoisthmic cerclage for early stage cervical cancer.
