• Background The aim of this study was to compare the surgical and oncologic outcomes of laparoscopic-assisted radical vaginal hysterectomy (LARVH) with that of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) for early-stage cervical cancer. Methods Patients affected by invasive cervical cancer (FIGO stage I–IIA) who had received LARVH ( n  = 89) in our institute between September 2004 and December 2010 were compared with patients treated by LRH ( n  = 105) during the same period. All patient information, surgical and pathological data, and oncological results were prospectively collected. Patients undergoing abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) were included for comparison of safety, morbidity, and recurrence rate. Results The mean estimated blood loss (EBL) and return of bowel activity were significantly reduced in the LRH group compared with the LARVH group ( p  = .011 and p  = .002, respectively). Intraoperative complications occurred in 10 patients (11.2 %) in the LARVH group, 6 (5.7 %) in the LRH group, and 3 (3.0 %) in the ARH group. Forest plot analyses of the previous studies showed higher incidence of intraoperative complication in the LARVH group than in LRH group ( p  = .02). Despite the similar overall recurrence rate, stump recurrence seems to be high in the LRH group in the forest plot analysis of previous studies ( p  = 0.08). Conclusions Both LARVH and LRH are safe and effective therapeutic procedures for the management of early-stage cervical cancer, although LRH is characterized by less blood loss and shorter bowel recovery time. Possible higher stump recurrence in the LRH should be further evaluated.
