Keyhole surgery vs. open surgery: which is better for endometrial cancer in Low-Resource settings?
NCT ID NCT07546825
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two surgical methods for early-stage endometrial cancer: laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) and laparotomy (open surgery). It aims to see which one helps patients recover faster, especially in places with limited medical resources. About 48 women will take part, and researchers will measure things like how soon they can walk after surgery, hospital stay length, and overall recovery quality.
