Pelvic floor functional outcomes after total abdominal vs total laparoscopic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Jan 17, 2018
Higgs P, et al. - In women who have had surgical treatment for early stage endometrial cancer as part of the multinational Laparoscopic Approach to Cancer of the Endometrium (LACE) trial, pelvic floor function was evaluated. In addition, authors compared patients’ outcomes who had total abdominal total vs total laparoscopic hysterectomy. In the current study, abdominal or laparoscopic hysterectomy seemed not deteriorating the pelvic floor function in terms of urinary, bowel and prolapse symptoms. These data are reassuring for women undergoing hysterectomy for early stage endometrial cancer.
