- Abstract
The radicality of Okabayashi's radical hysterectomy for treatment of cervical cancer has been well-known. However, its radicality also brought up the disturbance of fertility, endocrine and sexual function as well as the dysfunction of micturition and defecation. As early cervical cancer cases have increased yearly, and social rehabilitation became more necessary nowadays, functional saving is important and must be considered as the responsibility of the oncologists. This report denotes the preservation of ovarian function, sexual rehabilitation as well as the fertility in the treatment of cervical cancer.
