Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes in terms of recurrence and survival among cervical cancer patients who underwent simple hysterectomy and radical hysterectomy seen in a tertiary government hospital.
Methods: The records of all cervical cancer patients who underwent radical hysterectomy and simple hysterectomy for the past ten years were reviewed.
Results: The incidence of cervical cancer patients who underwent simple hysterectomy from 2009-2018 is 0.37 per 100 person years or 0.592:16, lower than 1:16 ratio from 1964-1974, as reported by Manalo and Sotto.1 Only 9 out of 42 patients who underwent simple hysterectomy had cervical cancer screening within 1 year prior to surgery.
Conclusion: The most common indication for surgery was myoma uteri. Those who underwent radical hysterectomy had better recurrence free survival and overall survival than those who had simple hysterectomy.
