Sažetak

With correct staging a large number of patients with cervical cancer FIGO stages IA2 and IB can be spared of unnecessary
radiation therapy by laparoscopic assisted vaginal radical hysterectomy (LAVRH) as an option of radical surgical
treatment in such patients. The development of laparovaginal surgery, indication and contraindication were presented.
Also, the surgical technique was described in detail. Fifty-two patients were followed up in 2003 after LAVRH or open
surgery, performed in our single center. Only 5 (14%) patients died from cervical cancer within 3 years following the
treatment. They were all clinical stage IB treated with open surgery. There were 4 (11%) complications following treatment
and they were all in patients with clinical stage IB, also treated with open surgery. There was no complication in
LAVRH treated patients. The results and complications of the sole Croatian center performing LAVRH or open surgery
in patients with cervical cancer FIGO stages IA and IB were similar to those in centers across the world.
