This extraordinary monograph provides the precise neurovascular anatomy involved in open-abdominal radical hysterectomies information that is essential for surgeons.
For the surgical treatment of invasive cervical cancer E. Wertheim reported the first systematic data on radical hysterectomy in the early 20th century. While Okabayashi's radical hysterectomy technique which modified Wertheim's approach later became the mainstream choice for the treatment of Stage Ib and IIb cervical cancer in Japan the anatomy of the pericervical area is still not fully understood. The recent spread of laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery also requires a clear grasp of the anatomy of the blood vessels in the connective tissues of the female pelvis.
