ABSTRACT
Surgical management for cervical carcinoma uses a wide variety of procedures for all stages of disease, ranging from the most conservative excisional biopsy to aggressive extirpative surgery with sophisticated reconstruction. Innovative surgical procedures have given fertility-sparing treatment options to women of reproductive age, and refinement and use of minimally invasive surgical approaches have minimized operative morbidity without sacrificing outcomes. Conservative staging procedures are being evaluated to improve survival in locally advanced disease. There have been many breakthroughs in the treatment of cervical carcinoma over recent years, which have improved not only survival but also the quality of ensuing life for women afflicted by this disease.
