Revisiting the Concept of Nerve Sparing Radical Hysterectomy
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
Nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy aims to preserve the autonomic innervation of pelvic organs. In most studies, the preservation of the parasympathetic component of pelvic innervation is achieved by sparing the lymphovascular-neural tissue located at the base of the lateral paracervical tissue. This study explores an alternative surgical technique based on a different anatomical pathway of parasympathetic fibers, running more cranially and deeply within the pararectal space.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Bladder dysfunction — 90 day after surgery

Detrusor underactivity or acontractility Urinary retention requiring catheterization Loss of sensation of bladder fullness Urinary urgency, frequency, or incontinence
