In the treatment of endometrial carcinoma of stages I and II, laparoscopic or laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy is oncologically equivalent to abdominal hysterectomy. As the pelvic and para-aortal laparoscopic lymph node dissection can now be safely carried out, it is possible to decide definitely for or against adjuvant percutaneous irradiation. The removal of metastatic lymph nodes seems to improve survival significantly.
