Partial early-staged cervical carcinomas should receive radiotherapy of after radical hysterectomy .In order to improve the life quality of young patients, some improvements were made in 101 young patients with early-staged invasive cervical carcinoma from January, 1990 to June, 1997. During the radical hysterectomy, unilateral or bilateral ovaries w ere transposed and fixed to the ipsilateral peritoneum.There was a safety distance of 5 cm out of regular radiation field. The measurement of the ovary was 1.77%of the center field' s dosage by radiation dosimetry. We haven't found any symptoms caused by the decreased sex hormone level after follow-up. So this method has the clinical value to prevent ovary destroying by postoperative radiotherapy.
