Comparing Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) and parameters of radicality in surgical approaches for early high-risk cervical carcinoma: nerve-preserving vaginally assisted laparoscopic radical hysterectomy vs. laparoscopically assisted radical vaginal hysterectomy

Introduction: In primary early-stage high risk cervical carcinoma, numerous surgical approaches exist, each with varying levels of radicality, complication rates, and oncologic outcomes. This study focuses on the perioperative and long-term outcomes of nerve-preserving vaginally assisted laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (npVALRH) as developed at Jena University Hospital for early high-risk cervical cancer with type C1 radicality, compared to laparoscopically assisted radical vaginal hysterectomy (LARVH).
