Radical trachelectomy: importance of round ligament and sampson’s arteries to uterine blood suply evaluation by indocyanine green fluorescence

Abstract

Introduction: Radical Trachelectomy is a choice for cervical cancer treatment andpreserve fertility in selected cases. Good uterine perfusion is necessary for fertility. Sampson’s arteries preservation may be a good way of uterine perfusion. Blood flow evaluation by indocyanine greenfluorescence on round ligament and uterus shows uterine perfusion through Sampson’s arteries after clipping uterine arteries for radical trachelectomy.

Description Preserve round ligaments and Sampson’s arteries when performing radical tracuelectomy. Blood flow evaluation by indocyanine greenfluorescence on round ligament and uterus.

Conclusion/Implications •Sampson’s arteries may be a good option of uterine perfusion •We could preserve round ligament for good uterine blood suply
