Results: Over ten years, 34 trachelectomy operations were completed. The age of patients ranged between 42 years and 72 years with mean + SD were 55+7.5 The mean interval was 6 months, whereas the lowest and largest intervals were reported to be 2 months (0.2 year) and 156 months (13 years), respectively. Patients who were diagnosed with endometrial adenocarcinoma unrerwent trachelectomy before one year(15 out of 16, 94.11%) but only one patient (5.88%) underwent trachelectomy after one year. Recurrent vaginal bleeding was a more evident symptom among the patients who underwent trachelectomy before one year (54.5%) or after one year (91.7%). Except for one patient (p-value 0.001). Patients (17) who underwent trachelectomy before or at a time of 5 months didn’t complain of urinary symptoms except for one patient, 5 patients (29.5%) of those patients had sexual symptoms.
