Brief Summary
Nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy aims to preserve the autonomic innervation of pelvic organs. In most studies, the preservation of the parasympathetic component of pelvic innervation is achieved by sparing the lymphovascular-neural tissue located at the base of the lateral paracervical tissue. This study explores an alternative surgical technique based on a different anatomical pathway of parasympathetic fibers, running more cranially and deeply within the pararectal space.
