Rethinking the controversy between laparotomy and laparoscopy in cervical cancer surgery

Abstract

Since 2018, the controversy between laparotomy and minimally invasive surgery for cervical cancer has been paid attention widespread, In addition, we should analyze the other problems in cervical cancer surgery objectively and comprehensively. Laparoscopic surgery has been rapidly popularized in China due to its advantages over the past 10 years. However, there are still many points in the treatment of cervical cancer in China, such as not paying attention to the concept of tumor-free, not strictly grasping the indications for surgery, inadequate surgical scope, and lack of oncologist training, etc, which needs we pay more attention. In order to obtain the best therapeutic effect, we not only pay attention to the discuss of laparotomy and minimally invasive of the cervical cancer, but should also pay attention to the nature of tumor treatment. Key words: Uterine cervical neoplasms; Laparotomy; Laparoscopy
