Surgical approaches in women with endometrial cancer with a body mass index greater than 35kg/m2

AimEndometrial cancer is often associated with obesity. We want to compare the outcomes of surgical staging according to the surgical approach in patients with a body mass index ≥35 kg/m2.MethodsA retrospective cohort study with 138 patients with endometrial cancer and body mass index ≥35 kg/m2 with...

Summary:AimEndometrial cancer is often associated with obesity. We want to compare the outcomes of surgical staging according to the surgical approach in patients with a body mass index ≥35 kg/m2.MethodsA retrospective cohort study with 138 patients with endometrial cancer and body mass index ≥35 kg/m2 with different surgical staging routes: laparotomy (LPT; n = 94) and minimally invasive surgery (MIS): laparoscopy (LPC; n = 18) + robotic assisted laparoscopy (n = 26).ResultsLymphadenectomy rate was similar in the three groups; there were no differences in the number of nodes removed. Decreased bleeding (P = 0.002) and hospital admission length (P
