Description

This video is lecture of Laparoscopic Radical Hysterectomy by Dr R K Mishra. This procedure is used to treat stage I or IIA cervical cancer. Radical hysterectomy involves surgical removal of the uterus, the supporting ligaments and the upper vagina, together with removal of the pelvic lymph nodes and sometimes the para-aortic lymph nodes. Laparoscopic radical hysterectomy is a feasible alternative to laparotomy for early stage cervical cancer. Similar surgical outcomes are achieved with significantly less morbidity.
