Laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy versus total laparoscopic hysterectomy in endometrial cancer: A retrospective cohort study

Key Points

• Laparoscopic-supported surgical methods yield lower blood loss in endometrial cancer treatment when using total laparoscopic hysterectomy.
• Blood loss reduction suggests enhanced safety for total laparoscopic hysterectomy compared to laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy.
• Observational analysis of surgical outcomes in early-stage endometrial cancer provides insights on technique efficacy.
• Findings support total laparoscopic hysterectomy as a viable option; however, further investigation could enhance surgical protocols.
