Novel Gynecologic Oncology Procedures

Today,I took about an hour to watch "Novel Genecologic Oncology Procedures" from or-live.
In this webcast,Doctors Pedro T. Ramirez and David M. Kushner introduced a new surgery procedure called Radical Trachelectomy.Compared with radical Hysterectomy,radical trachelectomy removed patient's diseased cervix and surrounding ligaments and preserved her uterus for future child-bearing.Both procedures performed completed pelvic lymphadenectomy.
Though we don't know whether the patient can really preserve her fertility,radical trachelectomy leave us the hope of it.And doctors will keep on studying datas of oncology,fertility and obstetrics from these surgical procedures,at least there is a
light of it.
In additon,laparoscopes makes these surgical procedures more easy and least invasive.In China,surgeons make it a fashion of introducing endoscope into almost every kind of surgery operations,but they are too expensive,usually 4 to 5 times the prices of traditional operations.Maybe one day,there are endoscopes with a "Made In China" tag,and endoscopies will cost much less.
