RVT (radical vaginal trachelectomy)search for term: Young women with small tumors may be able to have an RVT, which involves the removal of most or all of the cervix, the tissue around the uterus and part of the vagina. By leaving the uterus, this less invasive surgery preserves a woman’s ability to have children. If your healthcare provider says you need a hysterectomy, ask if RVT is appropriate for you.
