Abstract

Gynecological cancers especially endometrial cancer have put a huge burden on health care systems in different societies. In this regard, different studies have evaluated screening, diagnosis and treatments of endometrial cancer. Different survival rates, prognosis and recurrence rates have been reported by variable treatment methods. Laparotomy and laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (RH and LRH) are nowadays two most common surgical methods for endometrial cancer. In this systematic review, we investigated all article comparing two treatment techniques regarding RH and LRH in women with endometrial cancer who were classified as International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage I to III. Data regarding to blood loss and transfusion rate, operative time, duration of hospital stay, complications as intraoperative and postoperative, mean nodules counts, recurrent rate, adjuvant therapy were collected and analyzed. After reviewing five cohort studies, we indicated that laparoscopic procedures were better than laparotomy for managing endometrial cancer because the duration of hospitalization, blood loss and intraoperative and postoperative complications in laparoscopy procedure were lower than laparotomy procedures.

Keywords: Endometrial cancer; laparoscopy; laparotomy.
