Laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer: long-term results of a multicentric study.

Abstract

The study illustrates that laparoscopically assisted surgical staging of endometrial cancer is safe as an open procedure. The laparoscopic approach may also be considered for endometrial malignancy which typically occurs in obese and elderly, high-risk women. Our analysis showed no difference with respect to recurrence or survival between the compared laparoscopic and the open group.
