Outcomes: the patients’ demographic data, pre-operation diagnosis, the surgical technique used for removing the cervix and the postoperative results are described.
Conclusions: the available data revealed that a laparoscopic approach is a safe alternative for trachelectomy in benign conditions. This is the first report of laparoscopic trachelectomy published in Colombian literature.
