Laparoscopic Radical Hysterectomy cancer surgery is performed on women diagnosed with cervical cancer. It is recommended for women in the early stage, i.e. Stage 2 of cervical cancer, which doesn't include lymph node metastases. Physicians strictly recommend women undergo radical hysterectomy when they diagnose the early stage of tumors in the cervix.
Laparoscopic Radical Hysterectomy procedure:
- Patients are first given anesthesia
- Then doctors make an incision right below the umbilicus. The incision is typically around 5 mm to 10 mm.
- Finally, the tumor is removed from the cervix using the laparoscopic method.
Cervix Cancer
This cancer type affects the female reproductive system's cervix, the organ joining the Vagina. Before cancer, the cervix develops abnormalities, i.e. dysplasia that causes cancerous cell generation. As a result, the cancerous cells target the cervix and its nearby organs.
