Surgery: Laparoscopy versus laparotomy in early-stage endometrial cancer.

摘要

The standard treatment for early-stage endometrial cancer is total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH), generally carried out through laparotomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Although this method is effective, the surgical procedure can be associated with considerable morbidity, because of a high incidence of obesity and other comorbidities seen in patients with endometrial cancer.
