A trachelectomy, sometimes called a cervicectomy, is a surgical procedure used to treat early-stage cervical cancer. The definition of a radical trachelectomy – the most common form of this procedure – is the removal of the cervix and part of the vagina. The ovaries and the uterus are left in place, with the uterus connected to the vagina by an artificial band. The doctor may also remove the lymph nodes near the cervix. A simple trachelectomy, which is less often performed, removes only the cervix. A trachelectomy is one of several common surgical procedures used to treat cervical cancer. The method selected depends on multiple factors, including a woman’s age, desire to maintain fertility and the cancer’s stage of development.
