Postoperative Health-Related Quality of Life of Cervical Cancer Patients - A Comparison between the Wertheim-Meigs Operation and Total Mesometrial Resection (TMMR).

Conclusion: The findings presented in this study suggest a superiority of TMMR in comparison to the previously employed radical hysterectomy according to Wertheim-Meigs with regard to the postoperative quality of life, especially in the fields of physical activity and fatigue. This needs to be validated in the course of prospective, multicentre studies. In addition, it must be clarified as to what extent the found effects are, in particular, due to the omission of an additional radiotherapy. PMID: 25100882 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
