Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide. Because it often affects women of childbearing age (19-45 years), fertility-sparing surgery is an important issue.

The article reviews current viable fertility-sparing options with a special focus on trachelectomy, including vaginal radical trachelectomy, abdominal radical trachelectomy and simple trachelectomy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is also discussed.

Finally, the decision to proceed with fertility-sparing treatment should be a patient-driven process.
