Preview- It would appear apparant that, brigham and Womens Hospital (BWH), one of only a few hospitals in the Northeast to perform robotic radical trachelectomy (removal of the cervix (i.e., neck, or cervix of uterus) uteri) to treat cervical (i.e., cervicalis) cancer, is a world leader in using state-of-the-art robotics to improve surgical outcomes. Cervix is the lower (i.e., inferior, or lower tubercle), narrow end of the uterus (i.e., metra, or womb) that forms a canal (i.e., canalis) between the uterus and vagina (i.e., sheath). Cervical, relating to the neck (i.e., cervix, or collum), or to the neck of any organ or structure. Cervical lymph nodes are located in the neck. Cervical cancer refers to cancer of the uterine cervix, which is the lower, narrow end (the neck ) of the uterus. Radical trachelectomy, surgery to remove the cervix, nearby tissue and lymph nodes, and the upper part of the vagina. It may be used to treat women with early-stage cervical cancer who want to have children. After the cervix is removed, the uterus is attached to the remaining part of the vagina. A special stitch (i.e., suture) or band is used to act as the cervix and create an opening to the uterus. The stitch or band may be opened or closed as needed. Also called radical cervicectomy. Cervical cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the cervix (the organ connecting the uterus and vagina). It is usually a slow-growing cancer that may not have symptoms but can be found with regular Pap tests (a procedure in which cells are scraped from the cervix and looked at under a microscope). Cervical cancer is almost always caused by human papillomavirus (i.e., papilloma virus) (HPV) infection. Trachelectomy, surgery to remove the cervix (the end of the uterus that forms a canal between the uterus and the vagina). The upper part of the vagina and certain pelvic lymph nodes (i.e., nodi lymphoidei pelvis (parietales et viscerales)) may also be removed. Pelvic, having to do with the pelvis (the lower part of the abdomen (i.e., venter) located between the hip (i.e., hip bone, or hip joint) bones). Also called cervicectomy.
- It would seem to be apparant that, we have no appreciable experience to make a statement regarding limited endocervical (i.e., intracervical) involvement on colposcopy (i.e., cervicoscopy), because seven of the ten patients with cervical malignant neoplastic disease who underwent radical trachclectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy to preserve fertility came to us after a cone (i.e., cone cell of retina) biopsy. Fertility is the ability to produce children. Cone biopsy, surgery to remove a cone-shaped piece of tissue from the cervix and cervical canal (i.e., canalis cervicis uteri). Cone biopsy may be used to diagnose or treat a cervical condition. Also called conization. Biopsy is the removal of cells or tissues for examination by a pathologist. The pathologist may study the tissue under a microscope or perform other tests on the cells or tissue. There are many different types of biopsy procedures. The most common types include: (1) incisional biopsy, in which only a sample of tissue is removed; (2) excisional biopsy, in which an entire lump or suspicious area is removed; and (3) needle biopsy (i.e., aspiration biopsy), in which a sample of tissue or fluid is removed with a needle. When a wide needle is used, the procedure is called a core biopsy. When a thin needle is used, the procedure is called a fine-needle aspiration biopsy (i.e., fine-needle biopsy) (i.e., needle biopsy). Pelvic lymphadenectomy, surgery to remove lymph nodes in the pelvis for examination under a microscope to see if they contain cancer. Colposcopy, examination of the vagina and cervix using a lighted magnifying instrument called a colposcope. Lymphadenectomy is a surgical procedure in which the lymph nodes are removed and a sample of tissue is checked under a microscope for signs of cancer. For a regional lymphadenectomy, some of the lymph nodes in the tumor (i.e., neoplasm) area are removed; for a radical lymphadenectomy, most or all of the lymph nodes in the tumor area are removed. Tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue that results when cells divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Tumors may be benign (not cancer), or malignant (cancer). Also called neoplasm (i.e., new growth, or tumor). Also called lymph node dissection (i.e., anatomy, or necrotomy).
- It seems to be, pregnancies after radical vaginal trachelectomy for early-phase cervical cancer. Vaginal, having to do with the vagina (the birth canal (i.e., parturient canal)).
