COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF TRADITIONAL AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGICAL INTERVENTIONS IN DISEASES OF THE CERVIX
Keywords:
cervical diseases, surgical treatment, minimally invasive surgery, traditional surgical methods, comparative analysisAbstract
Diseases of the cervix remain a significant challenge in gynecological practice due to
their high prevalence and potential impact on reproductive health. Surgical management plays a
central role in the treatment of cervical pathologies; however, the choice between traditional and
minimally invasive approaches remains a subject of ongoing clinical debate. This study aims to
compare the effectiveness, safety, and postoperative outcomes of conventional surgical
interventions and minimally invasive techniques used in the management of cervical diseases. A
comparative analysis was conducted based on clinical parameters, including intraoperative
characteristics, recovery duration, complication rates, and preservation of cervical function. The
findings demonstrate that minimally invasive surgical methods are associated with reduced
operative trauma, shorter hospitalization periods, and faster functional recovery, while traditional
techniques continue to provide reliable therapeutic outcomes in complex or advanced cases. These
results highlight the importance of an individualized surgical strategy that considers disease severity,
patient reproductive plans, and available clinical resources. The study contributes to optimizing
surgical decision-making and improving the quality of care for patients with cervical pathology
