Objective:The purpose of our study was to investigate the feasibility and short-term therapeutic effects of laparoscopic staging operation in women with endometrial carcinoma.Methods:We analyzed 86 patients with endometrial carcinoma in PLA general hospital between 2006 and 2009 retrospectively.Thirty-nine patients were performed laparoscopic modified radical hysterectomy plus systemic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy.Forty-seven patients received traditional abdominal radical hysterectomy plus systemic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy.We compared the operation time,blood loss,number of lymph nodes retrieved,time for restoration of gastrointestinal function,postoperative complications and morbidity,the incidence of wound infection,the length of hospital stay,and hospital charges.Results:There was no significant deviation between the two groups in age,clinical stage,and pathology.We found that there was no significant deviation between the two groups in the number of lymph nodes retrieved,postoperative complications,the rate of wound infection or hospital charge(P>0.05).The laparoscopic group had an advantage in blood loss,time for restoration of gastrointestinal function,time for postoperative hospital stay(P<0.05).Conclusion:Laparoscopic surgery,as a primary surgical intervention,seems to be a safe and feasible option especially in patients with early endometrial cancer.
