Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of laparoscopic nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (LNSRH) on vesicorectal function in patients with early cervical cancer with small tumor.Methods Eighty patients with early cervical cancer whose tumor diameter ≤ 2 cm were admitted to Wuhu Hospital affiliated to East China Normal University and The First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from January 2014 to September 2021 were divided into two groups by random number table method, 40 of whom underwent laparoscopic nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (LNSRH) as the study group, and the other underwent conventional laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) as the observation group. The preoperative general information, postoperative bladder function and rectal function recovery, and preoperative and postoperative urodynamics of the two groups were compared.Results There were no significant differences in the amount of surgical bleeding, the number of dissected lymph nodes, the length of vaginal resection, and the length of parastatal tissue resection between the two groups (P > 0.05). The operation time of LNSRH group was longer than that of LRH group (P < 0.05). The retention catheterization time, anal exhaust time, and spontaneous defecation time were statistically significant between the two groups (P < 0.05), and the LNSRH group was shorter than the LRH group (P < 0.05). Six months after operation, the proportion of patients with dyuria, abdominal pressure, and constipation was significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.05), and the proportion of LNSRH group was lower than that of LRH group (P < 0.05). The results of urodynamics of the two groups were compared. The difference values of maximum urine flow rate (MFR), average urine flow rate (AFR), initial urinary bladder volume, maximum urinary bladder volume, and maximum detrusor contractile pressure (MDP) between the two groups before and 12 months after surgery were statistically significant (P < 0.05), and the differences of LNSRH group were smaller than those of LRH group. There was no significant difference in postoperative survival rate between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic radical pelvic autonomic nerve sparing hysterectomy has a good effect on patients with early cervical cancer with small tumor. It can improve the vesicorectal function of patients after operation, with fast recovery and no adverse impact on survival outcome.
