Single-Port Laparoscopic Surgery for Endometrial Cancer: a Systematic Review

AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis review aimed to provide an overview of single-port laparoscopic surgery and related literature. Based on previous reviews on endometrial cancer, we focused on the benefit of single-port laparoscopic surgery in endometrium cancer.Recent FindingsEndometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer and can be treated with laparoscopic surgery without negatively affecting the oncological outcome. Single-port laparoscopic surgery is a recently emerging endoscopic technique, and it was shown that endometrial cancer could be staged using this method.SummaryResearch shows that endometrial staging with SILS is a feasible strategy that might become a common alternative to the conventional laparoscopic technique. In the future, this novel technique might take on a prominent role in advancing the evolution of minimally invasive gynecologic oncology surgery.
