Surgical Treatment for Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial cancer, also known as cancer of the lining of the uterus, is a common gynecological malignancy that often requires surgical intervention for effective treatment. Surgery is typically the primary mode of treatment, especially in early-stage disease, to remove the cancerous tissue and prevent its spread. The surgical approach for endometrial cancer involves the removal of the uterus (hysterectomy), fallopian tubes, ovaries, and sometimes nearby lymph nodes to assess if the cancer has spread. This comprehensive surgery helps in both treating the cancer and accurately staging the disease, which is critical for determining any further treatment such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

Types of Surgery for Endometrial Cancer

The most common surgical procedure for endometrial cancer is a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of uterus, both ovaries, and fallopian tubes). Depending on the cancer stage and patient’s condition, surgeons may also perform a lymphadenectomy, which involves removal of pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes to check for metastasis. With advances in technology, minimally invasive approaches such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery are increasingly preferred over traditional open abdominal surgery. These techniques offer benefits such as smaller incisions, less blood loss, reduced pain, quicker recovery, and shorter hospital stays, while providing excellent visualization for precise cancer removal.
