Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery improves the surgical outcome and life quality of patients with endometrial carcinoma.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) on the surgical outcome and quality of life (QoL) of patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC).

Methods: A total of 120 patients with EC treated in the Shandong Hospital of Traditional Chinese from August 2019 to June 2021 were selected, of which 70 cases treated with LESS were included in the research group and 50 cases treated with traditional laparoscopic surgery were assigned to the control group. The operation indexes, postoperative recovery, incidence of complications and QoL were compared between the two groups.

Results: The data identified that the time to anal exhaust, percentage of postoperative analgesics used, time to ambulation and length of stay in the research group were significantly less than those in the control group. The operation time was significantly longer in the research group compared with the control group. There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, number of lymph nodes dissected, catheter indwelling time and total complication rate between the two groups. The QoL was significantly better in the research group compared with the control group.

Conclusions: The above results indicate that LESS can improve the surgical outcome and QoL of patients with EC.
