[Advantages of laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy in surgery of endometrial carcinoma].

Introduction: In to respect the principles of oncological surgery and to reduce the operative morbidity, the authors of this study propose to find the proper place of the laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy in the surgery of endometrial carcinomas.

Patients And Methods: Between the 1st of June 2002 and 31 of May 2005, we realize a retrospective and comparative study for 36 laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy and 20 laparotomies concerning 56 patients.
