[Experience with radical surgery for tumor persistence or recurrence after primary irradiation of cervix neoplasms].

At first the general problems of operations in the x-ray treated tissue are discussed. After that 11 cases of patients, who were x-rayed, were demonstrated. With these patients we carried out a radical operation, because the cancer of cervicis was insufficiently affected by a primary radiological therapy. The bad turn of disease could not be stopped at 6 cases. The women patients got either uretero-vaginal-fistulae (2) or recto-vaginal-fistulae (2) or combined vesico-recto-vaginal-fistulae (1) and in less than one year they died of recidiv of cancer. Two women patients are still tended on account of their vesico-recto-vaginal fistulae. Only three women had been cured satisfactorily and they are till now free of recidivs for 4 to 7 years.
