Study design: Case Report
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common malignant tumor in childbearing-age women. To date, cervical resection and fertility-sparing surgery are the trends in the era of minimally invasive management. However, a proper management remains crucial. Hereby, we endeavor to underscore an uncommon case of early-stage cervical cancer receiving a tailored surgical technique of abdominal radical trachelectomy at our tertiary referral center and review literature. CASE PRESENTATION: A 33-year-old Vietnamese female patient (E1) was hospitalized for a diagnosis of cervical cancer classified as IB1 stage. The patient was treated with fertility-sparing modified abdominal radical trachelectomy surgery. The postoperative outcome was completely favorable. The patient was sent home after 5 days of hospitalization. In addition, she was monitored without complications. CONCLUSION: Fertility-preserving treatment could be effectively performed with a modified technique of abdominal radical trachelectomy among young women with early-stage cervical cancer. Interdisciplinary management is potentially necessary for favorable outcome. Further data are required for long-term outcomes of pregnancy, recurrent rate, and the risk of pelvic organ prolapse.
