Question 1

is trachelectomy safe if there is some cancer left?

Accepted Answer

Many leave the cvx: At hysterectomy for comfort and safety, but it leaves the part of the uterus at risk for cancer. Trachelectomy is indicated if cancer occurs, the alternate of XRT is compromised because the endocervical cavity dead ends, so the brachy ascpect cannot use tandem. Trachelctomy + node dissection best option.

Question 2

hi i had a radical trachelectomy 2 years ago and have just been disagnosed with a stenose os there is more scar tissue than there was at my last colpo?

Accepted Answer

Can happen: Cervical stenosis, extreme narrowing of the cervical canal can happen as a results from surgery on the cervix. If it interferes with outflow of menstrual blood, dilatation under anesthesia may help.

Question 3

why are  my periods weird after a  trachalectomy?

Accepted Answer

Depends: That question leads to other questions such as why the original surgery.  Age?  Was a D&C performed too....There are a lot of factors that could effect this.

Question 4

i had a super cervical hysdirectmy 1.5 yrs ago and just had a trachelectmy done. what is the recovery time for vaginal/belly button?

Accepted Answer

6 weeks: The post surgical healing time for most tissues to regain normal integrity and strength is 6 weeks. Prior to this excessive stress to the incisional sights could cause them to open or weaken resulting in a hernia formation. Therefore, it is best not to stress these areas with sexual activity or heavy lifting and exercise for 6 weeks. Normal light activities, walking etc would be fine.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Question 6

chemotherapy after bladder radical cystectomy needed?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: Chemotherapy following bladder cancer removed by radical cystectomy may be advised depending on the stage of the cancer. A deeply invasive cancer, or a cancer with lymph nodes involved may be treated post-operatively with chemotherapy if chemotherapy was not used preoperatively.

Question 7

anyone done a nissen fundoplication laparoscopic surgery?

Accepted Answer

Many: This is a great surgery to do, and helps quite a few people.

Question 8

foot drop after radical nephrectomy surgery?

Accepted Answer

Peroneal nerve: Isolated foot drop after surgery is likely due to pressure on the lateral aspect of the leg just below the knee during surgery.  As seen in the picture, the peroneal nerve is at risk of pressure injury where it crosses the fibula.  This kind of "palsy" due to pressure may recover spontaneously over weeks to months.  If not, orthotics or surgery to graft a nerve along the injured area may help.

Question 9

surgical clip left after diep surgery?

Accepted Answer

Surgical clip: in surgery we intentionally leave clips behind on bleeding vessels. Nothing abnormal in a clip left behind.

Question 10

has anybody done a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The most common reason for leaving the cervix is patient request.  Current medical evidence doesn't suggest any advantages to leaving the cervix, though sexual function or bladder function were concerns in the past.  If the cervix is left, the uterus must be removed by morcellation which can be a tedious and time-consuming endeavor, especially with a large uterus.
