  • Title: [Recommendations for the post-procedure care of cervical carcinoma].
    Author: Hübner J, Bonn E.
    Journal: MMW Fortschr Med; 2007 Mar 22; 149(12):35-8. PubMed ID: 17674889.
    Abstract:
    Post-procedure care for cervical carcinoma patients has an impact on not only survival, but also on the quality of life. After surgery, infections, seroma and lymphocysts are of immediate concern. In contrast, urethral strictures first develop after weeks or months. Chronic sequelae of surgical or radiation therapy include lymphatic oedema, problems during sexual intercourse, bladder disorders, fistula, cystitis, urethral stenosis and also fatigue syndrome and menopausal symptoms. In addition to medical care, psychooncological support is an important component of post-procedure care.
