Objective: Laparoscopic surgery is the standard care for early-stage endometrial cancer. We evaluated laparoscopic surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer in our hospital.Methods: Thirty-nine endometrial cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery in our institution during 2014-2021 were retrospectively examined. A staging laparotomy was performed when ascitic fluid cytology was positive.Operation time, blood loss, complications, and postoperative pathological diagnosis were analysed.
Results:The median patient age was 52 years (range:27-80 years), and the average body mass index was 22(range:16-30). The median operative time was 238 minutes(range:152-398), and the average blood loss was 105 mL (range:10-615 mL). Only one patient had a significant operative complication (bladder injury). Four patients had pathological stageⅡ or Ⅲ disease.
Conclusion:Laparoscopic surgery for early-stage endometrial cancer was performed safely in our institution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
