Radical Hysterectomy: Evolution Of Surgical Approach and Related Outcomes
Prospective controlled study (Canadian Task Force II-2) : Comparison analysis regarding
 surgical outcomes, complications, overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS) and
 cancer specific survival between patients subjected to radical Hysterectomy either by open
 radical hysterectomy (ORH) or minimally invasive surgery (MIS): laparoscopic (LRH) or
 robotically assisted radical hysterectomy (RRH).
Study Objective: To analyse the effect that the introduction of minimally invasive procedures
 has had on surgical and oncological outcomes when compared with conventional open radical
 hysterectomy (ORH) in a national reference cancer center Design: A prospective controlled
 study (Canadian Task Force II-2) Setting: A university teaching hospital Patients: All
 patients that underwent RH as primary treatment for cervical cancer in our institution
 between May 1999 and June 2016, with a total of 188 patients.

 Interventions: Patients underwent an open radical hysterectomy (ORH) or minimally invasive
 surgery (MIS): laparoscopic (LRH) or robotically assisted radical hysterectomy (RRH).

 -  Patients diagnosed with FIGO stage IA2-IB1-IIA1 cervical cancer.

 -  Subjected to Radical Hysterectomy.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Pregnant women in which a RH was performed at the time of caesarean section.
