Summary

This study looks back at 700 patients with endometrial cancer to compare two surgical approaches: minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) and open surgery (laparotomy). The goal is to see which method is safer and leads to better long-term outcomes, especially for patients at higher risk of recurrence. Researchers will examine complications, survival, and cancer return rates.
