Of these, radical hysterectomy differs from simple hysterectomy in that the parametrium, paravaginal tissue, and their lymphatics are widely resected to achieve negative tumor margins. Described in this section, type III (radical) hysterectomy is chiefly indicated for stage IB1 to IIA cervical cancer or small central recurrences following radiation therapy, or for clinical stage II endometrial cancer when tumor has extended to the cervix (Koh, 2015).
