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.
