Abstract Recurrent cervical cancer occurring in a previously irradiated field is one of the most complicated challenges for gynecological oncologists. Super-radical hysterectomy is a standard procedure for laterally extended cervical tumors, particularly recurrent cervical cancer in a previously irradiated field. This potentially curative procedure is challenging to perform due to the technical complexities and lack of reproducibility. Thus, it is performed only by skilled surgeons, either via open or laparoscopic approaches wherein the entire paracervix at the pelvic wall and the hypogastric vessels are transected. In this report, we described the first case of recurrent small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine cervix that was successfully treated with robot-assisted super-radical hysterectomy.
