Abstract
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic management of endometrial cancer is beneficial in view of decreased operative morbidity and post-operative recovery. In the case of early gynaecological malignancies, it is a safe and feasible mode of surgery. METHODS: A prospective study was conducted in our tertiary centre in the period January 2017-December 2019. The study included 51 patients diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma. Demographic details and operative findings have been recorded. RESULTS: The mean age was 55.47 years; 64.7% were post-menopausal. 86.2% had stage IA disease. All patients underwent laparoscopic staging. The mean operative time was 115 min, estimated blood loss was 82.5 ml, pelvic nodal yield was 13.53, and para-aortic nodes were 20.78. There were no conversions to laparotomy or any intra-operative complications, and none of the patients had recurrence. During post-operative follow-up, 2 patients had lymphocyst, 1 had chylous ascites and 1 had port site hernia. Average hospital stay was 3 days. CONCLUSION: In our study, we found that laparoscopic management of endometrial cancer is less morbid and has better post-operative recovery. © Federation of Obstetric & Gynecological Societies of India 2021.
