Endometrial: About this Treatment
Techniques of Surgery for Endometrial Cancer
In recent years, small-incision surgery has become more common than traditional open surgery for endometrial cancer. Small-incision surgery has 2 forms:
- Laparoscopic: done with a small incision in the belly, then inserting a tiny camera and surgical tools
- Robotic: which also uses small incisions, with a camera and tools connected to a robot controlled by the surgeon
Small-incision surgery allows people to recover more quickly, have a shorter hospital stay, return to daily activities sooner, and feel better faster.
Open surgery is also a good option for women who aren’t candidates for small-incision surgery.
