During the 10-year period ending December, 1972, 577 patients with Stage I endometrial cancer received their primary treatment at the Mayo Clinic. The average age of the group was 60.8 years. The higher-grade lesions were found in older individuals. The data did not show that high grade was related to age at menopause. The initial therapy was total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The absolute survival at 5 years was 92.7% for Stage IAG1, 86.5% for IAG2, 68.2% for IAG3, 89.6% for IBG1, 76.4% for IBG2, and 62.9% for IBG3.

We report the first four cases of LASS for endometrial cancer in Mexico. Four patients diagnosed with endometrial adenocarcinoma were selected. These patients underwent peritoneal washing, vaginally assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic biopsies. These biopsies included dissection of common iliac vessel, hypogastric and external vessels, and obturator nerve. An average of 10 nodes were obtained (8-11). In all patients both the nodes and the peritoneal washings were negative. The pathologic surgical staging was: three patients with IBG2 and one patient with IAG2. The patients were discharged on the sixth postoperative day, without complications. The follow-up is of 1 to 7 months and all are alive and without tumor activity. Patients with endometrial cancer often have associated obesity, diabetes and hypertension. For this reason the practice of minimally invasive surgery reduces morbidity. However, a full knowledge of anatomy, oncologic gynecology, and operative laparoscopy is imperative.
