Carcinoma of the Cervix—The Wertheim Operation

1. The main reason for this paper is to demonstrate that in properly selected and properly prepared patients the Wertheim operation plus the Taussig method of dissecting the pelvic lymph nodes can be accomplished with a low mortality.

2. The number of patients with positive lymph nodes in this selected group of cases is high-17 percent.

3. Ureteral injury is the greatest drawback to this operative procedure and its incidence must be lowered.

4. It is the belief of the author that this method of treatment of cervical cancer will give better end-results than the present methods of radiation.
