Abstract:
Cervical cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy. Radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer could cause damage to pelvic autonomic nerves, leading to postoperative urination, defecation and sexual dysfunction. In order to improve the postoperative quality of life, the international Querleu-Morrow (Q-M) surgical classification system recommends the nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (type-C1) as the mainstay operation. The Gynecologic Oncology Group affiliated to Chinese Obstetricians and Gynecologists Association has invited a number of domestic specialists and conducted in-depth discussions on key issues such as anatomical basis, surgical indications, techniques, postoperative evaluation for nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy. Finally, the specialists reach a consensus to guide the standardized application of this procedure in China.
