Endometrial cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed gynaecologic cancer in North America. The staging and initial treatment of endometrial cancer involves surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is increasingly used as an alternative to laparotomy. Patient selection for laparoscopy can be optimized by examining factors involved in both the choice of surgical approach and the ultimate procedure performed. We wished to identify factors that might be barriers to laparoscopic surgery in women with endometrial cancer who had surgery performed by the gynaecologic oncology group at the Capital District Health Authority (CDHA) in Halifax, Nova Scotia. |
