pubmed:abstractText
Seventy patients with cervical cancer who were not candidates for primary operative treatment underwent operative evaluation prior to radiation therapy. Thirty-one were explored through a transperitoneal approach and 39 through an extraperitoneal approach. The operative procedure consisted of bilateral pelvic and periaortic lymphadenectomy and exploratory laparotomy, with additional intraperitoneal biopsies taken as indicated by operative findings. Poor correlation was seen between operative findings, lymphangiography, and clinical staging. Radiation therapy was extended to include sites of biopsy proven metastases. The group of patients operated on through a transperitoneal approach experienced a 30% complication rate secondary to small bowel damage following radiation therapy, and 2 patients died as a result of complications. All patients with small bowel complications explored in this manner required surgical correction. The group of patients operated on through an extraperitoneal approach had a 2.5% morbidity secondary to small bowel complications, and there were not deaths or serious complications in these patients. No patients explored in this manner required subsequent operation for complications following radiation therapy.
