We report two cases of trachelectomy with laparoscopic paraaortic and pelvic lymphadenectomy in young women with early cervical cancer. Surgery took 225 and 275 minutes, respectively. A total of 49 and 27 lymph nodes were resected. Both patients were discharged on postoperative day 5. Preservation of fertility in such young women with early disease seems feasible.
