Abstract
The surgical therapy of cancer of the cervix has historically been a mainstay of treatment for this malignancy. This manuscript reviews the historical development of surgical therapy for cervix cancer and discusses the role of this modality in modern medicine. Stage I and Stage IIA disease is adequately treated with a radical hysterectomy. Morbidity and mortality in the last two decades has been reduced to a minimum. The extent of the radical surgical procedure called radical hysterectomy has been tailored to the extent of the disease by the use of modern knowledge of spread patterns.Keywords
