Cervical Cancer Surgery

Cervical cancer surgery is a medical procedure to remove cancerous tissue from the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus. The aim is to eliminate the cancer and prevent it from spreading. Depending on the stage of the cancer, surgery may involve removing the cervix alone (a procedure called cone biopsy) or more extensive surgery, such as a hysterectomy, which removes the uterus and surrounding tissue. Recovery may involve rest and follow-up care to monitor for any recurrence. This type of surgery is typically part of a broader treatment plan that may include chemotherapy or radiation.
