Abstract
This article describes the first Swedish experience with fertility preserving surgery according to the technique of Dargent. Minimally invasive methods gain acceptance in the treatment of other tumours and this method seems to treat adequately and preserve function. The literature is reviewed and discussed. In Sweden about 25-40 women under 30 years of age are each year diagnosed with cancer of the cervix. Three women with early cancer of the cervix were treated and one successful pregnancy reported.
