Natural Pregnancy Success After Cervical Cancer Surgery...I can live as a mother. Thank you
Oct 24, 2025
"I thought pregnancy was impossible now. But holding the baby in my arms like this, it's really like a dream."
Yonsei University Yongin Severance Hospital (Hospital Director Kim Eun-kyung) announced on the 24th that a woman in her 30s who preserved fertility through cervical resection using Da Vinci robot after diagnosis of cervical cancer recently gave birth to a healthy child.
A (33, female) visited Yongin Severance Hospital at the end of 2020 after abnormal findings were found in cervical cancer screening, and was diagnosed with cervical cancer as a result of a biopsy. It was imperative to leave the possibility of pregnancy for him, who was about to get married at the time. Professor Eo Kyung-jin of the obstetrics and gynecology department determined that fertility could be preserved after comprehensively considering the size, stage, and invasion of surrounding tissues, and performed cervical resection using Da Vinci robot.
Robotic surgery is a suitable method for cervical resection, which requires sophisticated surgery within a narrow pelvis. It has the advantage of minimizing bleeding and fast recovery thanks to high-resolution three-dimensional vision and free movement of instruments, which is advantageous for maintaining the quality of life of young patients.
A, who recovered smoothly after surgery, continued regular follow-up tests. Since then, artificial insemination has been attempted several times, but it did not lead to pregnancy, and A took a break while preparing for in vitro procedures. Then one day, a dream-like gift came to Mr. A. It is a successful natural pregnancy.
It is known that the success rate of pregnancy after cervical resection is about 40 to 70%, of which the natural pregnancy rate is much lower. In particular, even after pregnancy, the risk of premature birth is high due to the short cervix and it is not easy to lead to a surviving childbirth, but A succeeded in giving birth at full term safely. The baby is currently eight months old in good health, and A is about to be completely cured for five years.
Professor Eo Kyung-jin said "The moment the patient entered the clinic with a child in good health was very touching. As a doctor, I felt great joy and reward, and I am truly grateful to the patients and children who have overcome the difficult process." He then said "I hope that hope will be delivered to young female cervical cancer patients through this case, which has achieved both a complete cure for cancer, a healthy pregnancy and childbirth."
"When I was diagnosed with cervical cancer, I was hopeless at the thought that I would not be able to conceive and give birth in the future, but I am glad to be able to meet my baby in such a healthy way. Thank you Professor Eo Kyung-jin for allowing me to live my life as a mother."," he said.
