Abstract
Pregnancy after radical trachelectomy is feasible. For various reasons, a number of patients (57%) did not try to get pregnant after the surgical procedure. The majority of the patients who tried to conceive after radical trachelectomy succeeded once or more than once (70%). Patients attempting to conceive need to be informed of the complications and risk factors, in particular, second trimester loss and premature delivery caused by premature rupture of membranes. Once pregnant, patients need to be carefully followed for cervical incompetence and other risk factors for premature rupture of membranes.
