Endometrial Cancer Surgery

Endometrial cancer surgery typically involves removing the uterus, a procedure known as a hysterectomy. Surgeons may also remove surrounding tissues, including the ovaries and fallopian tubes, to ensure all cancerous cells are excised. This surgery can be done through the abdomen or with minimally invasive techniques using small incisions. The goal is to eliminate the cancer and prevent its spread. Depending on the cancer's stage, additional treatments like radiation or chemotherapy may be necessary post-surgery to manage the disease effectively. Recovery varies, and follow-up care is crucial for monitoring health after the procedure.
