Objectives: To present an abdominal radical trachelectomy surgical technique with complete preservation of the uterine arteries. Design: Clinical and surgical study. Setting: Hospital Oncologico de Buenos Aires Marie Curie, Argentina. Participants: Women with uterine cervical cancer stages Ia2 – Ib1. Interventions: We present a surgical technique designed for fertility sparing in patients with Ia2, Ib1 cervical cancer less than 2 cm (FIGO´s staging). Nine patients 28,5 year-old (20-32) underwent this modified abdominal radical trachelectomy between October 2004 and October 2008. Surgical technique was as follows: 1) Laparotomy with staging, complete and systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy and frozen section of lymph nodes; 2) Dissection of the uterine artery starting at the hypogastric artery; 3) Dissection of the ureter; 4) Transection of the anterior, posterior, and lateral parametri...
