Three cases of vaginal radical trachelectomy during pregnancy

Vaginal radical trachelectomy (VRT) is a surgical procedure that can be used to treat young women with cervical carcinoma while preserving the uterine fundus and future fertility [1]. A challenging clinical problem is the treatment of cervical carcinoma during pregnancy. There is little data regarding this topic in the literature (Table 1) and clear guidelines for the optimal management of cervical cancer complicating pregnancies are lacking. Delay of surgical staging and treatment will improve the fetal outcome but could be detrimental for the mother. We report three pregnancies complicated by cervical cancer treated by VRT with preservation of the concurrent pregnancy and the birth of healthy infants (Table 1).
