Uterine perforation at the time of brachytherapy for the carcinoma of the uterine cervix

T Matsuyama et al. Gynecol Oncol. 1986 Feb.

Abstract

Sixty-one patients with cancer of the uterine cervix received pretreatment laparotomy before the radiotherapy. As an operative procedure, several hemostatic clips were put on the serosal surface of the uterine wall in order to visualize the uterine contour in the localization X-ray films. By this method, six patients among them were proved to have uterine perforation at the time of small source insertion.
