Cervical conization: A surgical procedure to remove a cone - shaped piece of tissue from the cervix. It's mainly used for diagnosing and treating early - stage cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or small - sized invasive cancers. It helps in accurately determining the extent of the lesion and can be curative for some early - stage cases. Minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopic or robotic - assisted conization reduce trauma and shorten recovery time.

Radical hysterectomy: Involves the removal of the entire uterus, upper part of the vagina, and surrounding tissues, including the parametrium and lymph nodes. It's a standard treatment for more advanced cervical cancers. This surgery aims to completely remove the cancerous tissue and prevent its spread, but may have a greater impact on the patient's post - operative recovery and sexual function.
