ABSTRACT
118 of 129 pre-operative patients with invasive cervical carcinoma of stage Ib to IIb from 1974 to 1978 were examined lymphographically. Abdominal radical hysterectomy according to Wertheim with obligatory lymphonodectomy followed in all cases. Results of the histologic examination of lymphnodes have been compared with the findings from lymphography, whereby a coincidence could be proved in 84 per cent of all cases. The correlation for the lumbar and iliac lymphonodi was listed separately in 75 per cent of the cases. Lymphography gives significantly better results within the lumbar region with an accuracy rate of 92 per cent, a sensitivity of 100 per cent and a specificity of 98.5 per cent. It may be concluded that a lumbar lymphonodectomy is not necessary in the event of a negative lymphography.
