title: [Endometrial cancer: total simple hysterectomy or radical hysterectomy? Abdominal or vaginal route?].
abstract: Total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy has long been the standard surgical treatment for endometrial cancer. Radical hysterectomy is not useful in stage I. in women with extreme obesity and medical risk factors, vaginal hysterectomy is recommended. Laparoscopy-assisted vaginal hysterectomy complete the oncologic treatment if lymphadenectomy is necessary.
