Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study is to compare the results of total laparoscopic hysterectomy and total abdominal hysterectomy in obese women with endometrial cancer (EC). Materials and Methods: Patients with endometrial cancer whose BMI ≥30 kg/m2 and who were undergone total laparoscopic hysterectomy (n=68) or total abdominal hysterectomy (n=161) were included in the study. Demographic and histopathological features, disease-free survival and overall survival of the patients were recorded. All these data of laparoscopy and laparotomy patients were compared with each other.
Results: No significant difference was observed between two groups in terms of stage, tumor grade, histology, lymph node dissection rate and number of removed lymph nodes. Cardiovascular diseases were more common in laparotomy group (p=0.002). ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) score was higher in laparotomy group (p=0.001). Perioperative and postoperative complications were similar in both groups. The operation time was significantly longer and postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the laparoscopy group (p
