Objective:To analyze the complications of radical hysterectomy plus pelvic lymphadenectomy in cervical cancer patients and the methods of decreasing complication.Methods:From 2000 to 2005,39 early stage cervical cancer patients were treated by radical hysterectomy plus [KG(9]pelvic lymphadenectomy.The stages were:4 stageⅠA[KG)](10.25%);23 stageⅠB(58.97%),12 stageⅡA(30.76%).Results:A total of 9 patients(23.07%) developed postoperative complications.The major complications included:bladder dysfunction(15.38%);formation of lymphocysts(12.82%);wound infection(5.12%).Conclusion:The complications of radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy could be avoided through being familiar with pelvic anatomy,better surgical skill,reasonable post operative antibiotics and properly reducing the extent of surgery.
