Introduction: cervical cancer is the most common gynaecological neoplasia in developing countries, where patients wishing to reproduce in the past had no surgical options open to them for treating cancer and preserving their fertility at the same time. This paper was aimed at reporting the feasibility of carrying out the procedure in our setting.
Clinical cases: the cases presented concern two female patients aged 24 and 29 having cervical cancer IA2 and IB1, respectively. They wished to preserve their reproductive functions and underwent radical vaginal trachelectomy and laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy with successful surgical results.
Conclusion: minimal invasive treatment techniques in patients suffering from invasive cervical cancer represent an alternative when a patient wants to preserve her fertility.
