Analysis of morbidity in patients with endometrial cancer: is there a commitment to offer laparoscopy?

TL;DR: At least one third of the patients with EC carry serious co-morbidities with an increased surgical risk for complications, and for this subgroup of patients, a laparoscopic-vaginal approach significantly reduces the rate of complications and should be the standard of surgical treatment.
