Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Followed by Simultaneous Robotic Radical Trachelectomy and Reversal of Tubal Sterilization in Stage IB2 Cervical Cancer

2012 
ABSTRACT Introduction: The aim of this study was to report a caseof cervical cancer stage IB2 treated with neoadjuvant che-motherapy, followed by simultaneous robotic-assistedradical trachelectomy and reversal of tubal sterilization. Case Description: This case occurred in a universityhospital involving a 31-y-old woman with stage IB2 cer-vical cancer treated using neoadjuvant chemotherapy, ro-botic surgery, and tubal anastomosis to determine cancerdisease status and achieve restoration of tubal patency. Discussion: A successful radical trachelectomy with pat-ent tubes was done bilaterally. Cancer and fertility proce-dures can be simultaneously implemented and achieved. Key Words: Robotic-assisted radical trachelectomy, Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, Tubal anastomosis. INTRODUCTION Fertility-preserving treatments for females with reproduc-tive tract malignancies are becoming a popular option inlight of patients’ preferences. We present a woman diag-nosed with stage IB2 cervical cancer with a history oftubal sterilization. She received neoadjuvant chemother-apy followed by robotic-assisted radical trachelectomyand simultaneous tubal anastomosis.
