Abstract EN
Background: The standard treatment for women with endometrial cancer is total abdominal hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy for surgical staging.
Total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (TLH) is an alternative approach providing surgical and patient related advantages to laparoscopy.
Methods : Twenty female patients with early stage endometrial cancer were operated upon by TLH and pelvic lymphadenectomy, aiming to assess the safety and efficacy of TLH.
Results : the mean operative time was 296.8 min conversion to laparotomy was done in one patient due to bleeding from the uterine vessels.
The mean blood loss was 517.5 cc.
The uterus was removed transvaginally in 18 patients (90 %) and via a small Pfannenstiel incision in two patients (10 %).
The mean number of pelvic lymph nodes retrieval was 21.2.
Postoperative bleeding occurred in one patient (5 %) which necessitated exploration.
One patient (5 %) suffered a pulmonary embolism.
Four patients (20 %) developed pyrexia, and one patient (5 %) suffered from a chest infection.
One patient (5 %) had wound infection.
The mean hospital stay was 4.5 days (range 3–10).
Conclusion : TLH with pelvic lymphadenectomy is a safe and effective approach in the treatment of early endometrial carcinoma.
