cervical cancer FIGO staging diagram

A multi-panel medical illustration and anatomical diagram depicting the FIGO staging of cervical cancer (Stages IA and IB). The central bottom panel displays a 3D-style anatomical diagram representing Stages IA1 and IA2, where the cervix appears macroscopically normal, indicating microinvasive disease that is not visible to the naked eye. The top left panel illustrates Stage IB1, showing a cross-section of the uterus and cervix with a small, localized dark lesion on the cervical canal; it is annotated as a cancer of 4 mm or smaller. The top right panel illustrates Stage IB2, showing a significantly larger, darker, and more prominent exophytic/ulcerative lesion on the cervix, annotated as being larger than 4 cm. All panels show relevant reproductive anatomy including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. This educational graphic serves to distinguish clinical stages of cervical carcinoma based on tumor size and macroscopic visibility, relevant for gynecologic oncology and diagnostic pathology training.

This educational image details the radiological assessment and measurement protocols for cervical cancer using MRI.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK431093
PMID: 38725634
| Complication | Frequency | Management |
|---|---|---|
| Urinary dysfunction/bladder atony (detrusor denervation) | Most frequent complication of radical hysterectomy | Intermittent self-catheterization, pelvic floor physiotherapy; usually resolves in weeks, occasionally permanent |
| Vesicovaginal fistula | ~0.3% | Surgical repair (vaginal/abdominal/laparoscopic/robotic) with flap interposition; urinary diversion if repair fails |
| Ureterovaginal fistula/ureteral injury | ~1% | Ureteral stenting, ureteroneocystostomy, or psoas hitch repair |
| Lymphedema | Up to 25% (pelvic lymphadenectomy) | As above (Part 1.6) |
| Hemorrhage/infection | Variable | Standard surgical hemostasis, antibiotics |
| Bowel obstruction, stricture/fibrosis | Uncommon | Bowel rest, surgical lysis of adhesions/resection if needed |
| Foreshortened vagina, sexual dysfunction | Common | Vaginal dilators, pelvic physiotherapy, counseling |
| Cervical incompetence, infertility (fertility-sparing surgery) | 2-12% complication rate | Cerclage placement, close obstetric surveillance in subsequent pregnancy |
| Complication | Management |
|---|---|
| Chronic radiation proctitis/enteritis (bloody diarrhea, ulceration) | Difficult to treat, often relapsing. Options: sucralfate/formalin instillation for hemorrhagic proctitis, endoscopic argon plasma coagulation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, antioxidant therapy; surgery (resection/diversion) reserved for refractory strictures/fistula |
| Radiation cystitis (hemorrhagic) | Hydration, bladder irrigation, hyperbaric oxygen, intravesical agents; cystectomy/diversion in severe refractory cases |
| Rectovaginal fistula (1.4-5.3% after pelvic RT) | Fecal diversion; delayed surgical repair once tissue healed (irradiated tissue has poor healing - flap interposition often needed) |
| Bowel stricture/obstruction | Surgical resection/bypass if symptomatic |
| Vaginal stenosis | Vaginal dilators started early post-treatment, topical estrogen |
| Ovarian failure/premature menopause | Hormone replacement therapy if appropriate; ovarian transposition (oophoropexy) before RT can prevent this in fertility-sparing candidates |
| Brachytherapy applicator uterine perforation (2-18%) | Stable/no infection: observe ± prophylactic antibiotics. Hemodynamic instability/infection: IV fluids, antibiotics, escalation to surgical management. Postponement of brachytherapy is controversial since treatment delay worsens oncologic outcomes |

hydronephrosis ureteral obstruction CT

This composite diagnostic image features three contrast-enhanced CT views demonstrating severe obstructive uropathy. Image A (sagittal view) shows a significantly dilated left ureter (hydroureter) extending inferiorly toward a pelvic mass (indicated by a red arrow). Image B (axial pelvic view) highlights a spiculated, circular mass in the left adnexal region (circled), which is inseparable from the adjacent ureteral segment, suggesting intrinsic or extrinsic invasion. Image C (axial abdominal view) illustrates severe left hydronephrosis characterized by a markedly dilated renal pelvis (arrow) and thinning of the renal parenchyma compared to the normal right kidney. Notably, there is an absence of contrast flow within the dilated left collecting system, indicating complete obstruction. These findings are clinically consistent with ureteral endometriosis causing high-grade urinary tract obstruction. This material is suitable for medical education regarding radiological signs of hydronephrosis and differential diagnoses for ureteral masses in female patients.

A multi-panel medical image illustrating the diagnosis of ureteral fibroepithelial polyps (UFEPs) causing obstruction. Panel (a) is a 3D reconstructed enhanced CT urogram demonstrating severe right-sided grade 3 hydronephrosis with a dilated renal pelvis and a sudden cutoff at the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ), while the left urinary tract remains normal. Panel (b) shows a coronal view of an enhanced CT scan identifying soft tissue masses (tumors) within the right proximal ureter at the level of the UPJ obstruction. Panel (c) provides a diagnostic ureteroscopy (URS) view showing multiple, smooth, pinkish, elongated finger-like masses projecting into the ureteral lumen, characteristic of benign fibroepithelial polyps. The image captures the diagnostic pathway from radiological identification of high-grade hydronephrosis to endoscopic visualization of the underlying etiology in a pediatric or adult urology context.

A diagnostic imaging study featuring a coronal CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis. The image highlights obstructive uropathy in the left urinary system. Key findings include a 1.2 cm hyperdense ureteral stone (highlighted by a yellow circle) located in the mid-to-proximal left ureter. Proximal to the obstruction, the left ureter exhibits significant dilation and wall thickening (hydroureter). The left kidney demonstrates moderate hydronephrosis, characterized by distention of the renal calyces and pelvis. In contrast, the right kidney, right ureter, and liver appear morphologically normal. Anatomical labels and text annotations clearly distinguish the pathological findings on the patient's left side from the normal anatomy on the right. This visual serves as a clear educational example of the upstream consequences of ureteral calculi, including secondary hydronephrosis and inflammatory ureteral changes, relevant for urology and emergency medicine curricula.

This composite figure illustrates the diagnosis and surgical outcome of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and subsequent stenosis. Panel (a) is an axial non-contrast CT scan showing severe left-sided hydronephrosis with a markedly dilated renal pelvis (red arrowheads). Panel (b) is a contrast-enhanced CT scan showing wall thickening at the UPJ and increased peri-ureteral fat stranding (red arrowhead), indicative of chronic inflammation or fibrosis. Panel (c) presents a retrograde pyelogram demonstrating a focal segment of anatomic ureteral stenosis (white arrowheads) where contrast flow is restricted. Panels (d) and (e) are ureteroscopic views. Image (d) shows the internal appearance of the high-grade ureteral stricture with a guide wire in place. Image (e) displays the same region following a redo pyeloplasty, showing a patent, widely open lumen with healthy-appearing mucosal lining, confirming successful surgical reconstruction and resolution of the obstruction.
percutaneous nephrostomy ureteral stent placement

Anteroposterior KUB (kidneys, ureters, and bladder) radiograph of the abdomen and pelvis. The imaging demonstrates the lumbar spine, sacrum, and iliac crests with visible bowel gas patterns. Two distinct medical devices are present: a percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) tube and a double-J ureteral stent. On the patient's left side, a radiopaque catheter is visible, originating from the flank and terminating in a pigtail-shaped coil in the upper left quadrant, consistent with a percutaneous nephrostomy placement for renal decompression. Concurrently, a double-J stent is visible on the patient's right side, with its proximal coil situated in the right renal pelvis and its distal end extending inferiorly through the ureter toward the bladder. This visual illustrates common urological interventions for managing urinary tract obstructions, such as those caused by urolithiasis, ureteral strictures, or malignancies. The radiograph is essential for confirming the correct anatomical positioning of these drainage devices relative to the renal and pelvic structures.

This composite of four fluoroscopic images (a-d) demonstrates the antegrade management of a uretero-ileal anastomosis stricture (UIAS) in a patient with a prior radical cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder. Image (a) is an antegrade nephrogram via an existing percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) tube, showing a contrast-filled ureter with a severe segmental stenosis (approx. 2.4 cm) at the distal ureter/anastomosis site. Image (b) illustrates interventional balloon dilatation, featuring an inflated 6 mm balloon catheter at the point of stricture to restore patency. Image (c) shows the successful placement of a 6F double-J ureteral stent; the proximal pigtail is positioned in the renal pelvis (black arrow), and the distal pigtail is within the neobladder (white arrow). Image (d) is a post-procedural nephrogram confirming contrast flow and absence of significant blood clots (grade 1 retention). The series provides a visual guide for urological interventional procedures including nephrostomy access, balloon angioplasty of the urinary tract, and ureteral stenting for diversion-related complications.

This diagnostic image is a postoperative anteroposterior (AP) Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) radiograph of the abdomen and pelvis. The skeletal anatomy, including the lumbar vertebrae, pelvic girdle, and proximal femurs, is clearly visualized. Two radiopaque medical devices are visible in the right hemiabdomen: a nephrostomy tube and a double J (DJ) ureteral stent. The nephrostomy tube enters from the right flank, with its pigtail distal end positioned within the renal pelvis region. The double J stent is seen with its superior curl in the right kidney and its inferior curl residing in the pelvic cavity, corresponding to the anatomical location of the urinary bladder. An 'R' marker is positioned on the left side of the film, indicating the patient's right side. This image demonstrates successful placement of urinary diversion and drainage devices following a surgical intervention such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) or cyst unroofing. The bowel gas pattern appears normal, and there are no large radiopaque calculi visible in this postoperative view.

This composite of fluoroscopic images (A-F) illustrates an antegrade pyelogram and the interventional management of a ureteral stenosis in a 67-year-old patient with a double renal graft. Panel A demonstrates severe pelvicalyceal dilation (hydronephrosis) of the superior renal graft following percutaneous opacification. Panel B identifies the site of severe ureteral stenosis (arrowhead) at the level of the common iliac artery, with associated dilation of both the renal pelvis and proximal ureter. Panel C captures the use of a high-pressure balloon dilator over a 0.035-inch guidewire to treat the stricture. Panel D confirms the immediate post-dilation result, showing a wider ureteral lumen (arrowhead). Panel E shows the retrograde placement of an access sheath over the treated segment. Finally, Panel F visualizes the successful deployment and thermal expansion of a Memokath® 051 thermo-expandable metal stent, demonstrating restored ureteral patency. The series highlights critical steps in urological intervention, including nephrostomy access, balloon dilatation, and permanent stenting for obstructive uropathy in a complex transplant anatomy.
cervical cancer brachytherapy applicator

Clinical photograph of a patient undergoing high-dose-rate (HDR) interstitial brachytherapy for recurrent cervical cancer. The image shows a Kelowna template applicator secured over the perineal/vaginal region. Multiple thin, metallic interstitial needles are inserted through the circular grid of the applicator into the underlying tissue, arranged in a radial configuration to target the vaginal vault and paracervical regions. A Foley catheter (yellow) is visible, indicating bladder drainage during the procedure. The foreground shows a healthcare provider's gloved hands manipulating a central applicator component. This clinical setup demonstrates the surgical application of template-based interstitial brachytherapy, which allows for precise three-dimensional dose distribution in patients where conventional intracavitary brachytherapy is insufficient due to tumor anatomy or recurrence.

This composite figure illustrates the multi-modality imaging reconstruction of a titanium Tandem and Ovoid (T&O) brachytherapy applicator for cervical cancer treatment planning. (a) A sagittal T2-weighted MRI shows anatomical detail of the uterus and pelvic structures with 3 mm slice thickness. (b) A sagittal T1-weighted MRI highlights the applicator's cervical marker (flange) with high contrast, essential for position verification. (c) A fused T1 and T2 MRI image overlays the high-contrast applicator details onto the anatomical background for precise localization. (d) and (e) display orthogonal X-ray projections acquired prior to and following the MRI scan, respectively; yellow circles identify the flange position to calculate movement (Δd) and ensure reconstruction accuracy. (f) Provides a detailed view of the reconstructed tandem tip on MR, including an intensity profile used to account for artifacts and catheter thickness. This series demonstrates the clinical workflow for validating 3D MRI-based high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy planning using multiple imaging modalities to minimize uncertainty in applicator reconstruction.

This diagnostic image set displays CT-based segmentation results for cervical cancer brachytherapy planning across three deep learning architectures: 2D, 3D-Fullres, and 3D-Cascade. The visualization compares manual ground-truth contours (solid lines) with auto-segmentation results (dashed lines) for critical structures: the bladder (green), rectum (purple), and High-Risk Clinical Target Volume (HRCTV, orange). The images are organized into three clinical scenarios based on the brachytherapy applicator used: (a) Needles and Tandem applicator, shown in axial, sagittal, and coronal planes; (b) Ovoid applicator in axial views; and (c) Vaginal multi-channel applicator in axial views. High-density metallic artifacts from the applicators are visible within the HRCTV. The comparison demonstrates the high level of spatial agreement between the automated AI models and expert manual segmentation for Organs at Risk (OARs) and target volumes, illustrating the clinical utility of nnU-Net frameworks in radiotherapy contouring workflows.

This diagnostic imaging composite displays T2-weighted magnetic resonance images (T2WI) of the female pelvis, illustrating the placement of brachytherapy equipment for the treatment of cervical cancer. Image (a) is a sagittal T2WI showing a dark, linear intracavitary brachytherapy applicator correctly positioned within the endometrial cavity, extending from the uterine fundus toward the cervix (marked by white arrowheads). Image (b) is an axial T2WI at the level of the cervix, demonstrating multiple hypointense, punctate signals representing parametrial interstitial needles (marked by white arrows). These needles are distributed within the parametrial tissues lateral to the cervix to deliver targeted radiation. The images highlight the use of MRI for real-time or post-procedural verification of applicator and needle positioning to ensure optimal dose distribution while sparing adjacent organs at risk, such as the bladder and rectum. This clinical material is intended for advanced medical education in gynecologic oncology and radiation oncology, focusing on locally advanced cervical cancer management.
pelvic arterial embolization hemorrhage control

A digital subtraction angiogram (DSA) of the abdominal and pelvic vasculature, specifically targeting the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) and its distal branches. The image displays the arterial tree as dark, contrast-filled branching structures against a grayscale background. An arrow points to a distinct area of intervention at the arcade between the left colic artery and the sigmoid artery. This area contains a radiopaque, high-density cluster of spring-like metallic coils and amorphous gel foam cubes, indicating a successful transarterial embolization (TAE) of a previously identified pseudoaneurysm. The embolization material forms a dense, occlusive mass to prevent further extravasation. The surrounding pelvic arterial anatomy, including the iliac vessels and sigmoid branches, remains visible with normal contrast filling. This diagnostic image demonstrates the post-procedural appearance of an emergency interventional radiology procedure for gastrointestinal hemorrhage control.

This composite clinical image illustrates the progression and non-operative management of a lateral compression (Type B2) pelvic fracture. Panel A is an axial CT scan of the pelvis showing bilateral sacral fractures involving the sacral alae, a characteristic finding in lateral compression injuries. Panel B is an anteroposterior (AP) pelvic radiograph demonstrating fractures of the superior and inferior pubic rami. Notable interventions include multiple radiopaque embolization coils in the right pelvic region, likely used to control arterial hemorrhage, and a large, bell-shaped radiopaque bladder shield. Panel C is a follow-up AP radiograph taken 6 weeks later, showing evidence of bone consolidation and interval healing of the pubic rami fractures with persistent embolization coils and no surgical hardware. This sequence demonstrates successful non-operative therapy where structural stability is achieved through natural remodeling and conservative management.

This diagnostic image pair displays Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) of the pelvic region, specifically focused on a uterine artery embolization (UAE) procedure. Panel (a) illustrates a pre-embolization selective angiogram of the uterine artery. It shows a dense, complex network of hypervascular branching structures and tortuous vessels consistent with the increased blood supply required for a gestational sac in a cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). Contrast medium clearly delineates the arterial anatomy and distal capillary blush. Panel (b) shows the final post-procedural control angiography. The previous vascular network is no longer opacified, indicating a successful cessation of blood flow. Highly radiopaque, coiled metallic embolization agents (Interlock or Nester coils) are visible within the arterial lumens, serving as the mechanical obstruction. This comparison demonstrates the therapeutic devascularization of the affected uterine segment to prevent hemorrhage during subsequent surgical evacuation. The image is a critical educational tool for interventional radiology and obstetrics, highlighting the role of minimally invasive techniques in managing complex ectopic pregnancies.

This diagnostic image set consists of two panels (A and B) showing catheter-based digital subtraction angiography (DSA) of the right internal iliac artery in a 36-year-old female patient with placenta accreta and postpartum hemorrhage. Panel A (Pre-embolization): The angiogram demonstrates the right pelvic vasculature with a focus on the internal iliac artery. A white arrow points to a distinct area of hypervascularity characterized by a dense cluster of multiple irregular, tortuous, and small-caliber vessels, consistent with pathological neovascularization or extravasation in the setting of retained placenta. Panel B (Post-embolization): Following the administration of Gelfoam into the anterior division of the internal iliac artery, a repeat angiogram shows successful devascularization of the previously identified abnormal vessels. There is a notable absence of the irregular vascular cluster and any signs of active extravasation, while the primary proximal arterial branches remain patent. This comparison illustrates the use of uterine artery embolization (UAE) as an emergency interventional radiology procedure for hemodynamic stabilization and hemorrhage control.

rectovaginal fistula repair Martius flap

This clinical photograph captures a surgical field during a complex gynecological and proctological reconstruction for Crohn's disease-related fistulae. The image illustrates the 'final set-up' of a multi-step procedure involving the repair of a rectovaginal fistula and a longitudinal vaginal septum. Key anatomical features visible include the perineovaginal tract, which has been 'laid open' to expose underlying structures. Central to the operative site is the bulbocavernous muscle, carefully isolated and transposed as a Martius flap to reinforce the fistula repair. The vaginal mucosa is shown closed with meticulously placed interrupted absorbable sutures following the sectioning of the longitudinal vaginal septum. Surgical retractors are positioned to provide visualization of the deep pelvic tissues and the reinforced rectovaginal septum. This image serves as an educational resource for pelvic floor reconstruction, demonstrating tissue transposition and the management of congenital anomalies (septate vagina) in the context of chronic inflammatory bowel disease complications.

This clinical photograph captures an intraoperative view of a pedicled labial skin flap (Martius flap) being harvested for reconstructive surgery, likely for rectovaginal fistula repair. The image shows the inner aspect of the left labium majus where an elongated skin flap, approximately 4–5 cm in length, has been surgically dissected. The flap is pedicled, maintaining its vascular supply through a broad base (meso), allowing for mobilization without tension into the vaginal or rectal area. The distal end of the flap displays a smooth epithelial surface, while the underlying deep surface is granular, showing exposed subcutaneous adipose tissue and minor surgical bleeding. The donor site reveals deep perineal tissues, including muscle and fat, with a metal surgical retractor positioned to the right to maintain exposure. Sutures and surgical instruments are visible at the periphery, and anatomical landmarks like the clitoris are partially visible within the operative field. This visual demonstrates the surgical anatomy and mobilization phase of a pedicled fat/skin graft in gynecological or colorectal reconstructive procedures.
