To assess the feasibility of performing a vaginally assisted laparoscopic radical hysterectomy with pelvic node dissection in a patient with early cervical carcinoma.
Performed a vaginally assisted laparoscopic radical hysterectomy with pelvic node dissection in a single patient (N=1) with stage Ia2 carcinoma of the cervix using scissors, atraumatic forceps, and bipolar coagulation.
Followed the patient postoperatively for 21 months with physical examinations and routine Pap smears.
The surgical procedure was completed laparoscopically with an uneventful postoperative course.
The patient maintained normal Pap smears and normal clinical findings throughout the 21-month follow-up period.
