- Abstract
The results of treatment of 61 endometrial cancer patients with various forms of obesity are presented. Two groups of patients were compared: the first group comprised 26 patients who had undergone the laparoscopic surgery; the second group included 35 patients who had open surgery. Te laparoscopic approach improved the results of surgical treatment of endometrial cancer in patients with obesity. This technique allowed to reduce intraoperative blood loss, to diminish the duration of analgesics' administration, to shorten the period of bowel function recovery, 3 times to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
