Abstract

Introduction/Background Cervical cancer continues to affect young patients that desire to preserve their fertility. In selected cases, this procedure offers a good outcome for the patient. Although the procedure was initially performed via vaginal and laparoscopic route, radical robotic trachelectomy with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy can be a safe alternative for the treatment of early cervical cancer in patients who desire to preserve fertility.

Methodology In this video we will be presenting the case of 26 year old patient with cervical adenocarcinoma that received radical robotic trachelectomy with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy and sentinel lymph node procedure using indocyanine green (ICG).

Results The duration of the procedure was 177 minutes. Surgical outcome included a blood loss of 100 ml and there were no complications reported intraoperatively or postoperatively. The patient was discharged on day 2 postoperatively. The sentinel lymph node was negative as well as the pelvic lymph nodes. Negative sentinel lymph node was used as a decision criteria to continue the fertility sparring surgery. At 24 months of follow-up, the patient is disease free.

Conclusion Radical robotic trachelectomy with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy is a safe procedure and a good alternative in selected cases of patients with cervical cancer who wish to preserve their fertility.
