Who is a good candidate for this procedure?

Ideal candidates are patients with early-stage cervical cancer (FIGO stages IB1 to IIA) where the tumor is confined to the cervix or has limited local spread. Contraindications include advanced-stage disease (IIB or higher), severe comorbidities that increase surgical risk (e.g., heart or lung conditions), or inability to tolerate anesthesia. A thorough pre-surgical evaluation, including imaging and biopsy, is required to confirm suitability.
