Abstract
Results: All patients had a pathologically confirmed endometrial cancer before the surgery, and their median age was 56 years. Of these, 57 patients underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO), and 34 patients underwent lymph node dissection in addition to TLH and BSO. After the surgery, histological examination showed that 78% of cases were high-grade endometrioid adenocarcinoma and 69.2% were the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IA. No case needed conversion to laparotomy or blood transfusion. Based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, complications with grade 3 or more were seen in 6.6% of patients intra-operatively, including venous and nerve injury, and seen in 6.6% of patients post-operatively, including ileus and pelvic abscess. During the follow up period (median of 23 months), 5 patients experienced recurrence, and no patient died of cancer. The rate of complications, number of harvested lymph nodes, and rate of good prognosis of our patients were not lower than that reported by previous studies.
