BROCKBANK 88BARTS HEALTH NHS TRUST, GYNAECOLOGICAL ONCOLOGY, LONDON, United KingdomBackground and Aims:Obesity has a definite cause-effect link to causation of endometrial cancer. Traditionally open surgery has been the modality of treatment. More recently with advent of laparoscopic surgery, the benefits outweigh the risks and is generally deemed safe in obese patients. we study the surgical and oncological outcomes of mordidly obese women having surgery for endoemtrial cancer in our cancer centreMethods:All women having laparoscopic surgery for early stage endometrial cancer in our cancer centre between the study period of 1st january 2013 and 31st December 2015 were includedResults:A total of 30 women with extremely morbid obesity (BMI > 50) were identified during our study period. There were 2 conversions to laparotomy. Three had primary hemorhage. No cases of mortality were recorded within 30 days. Mean duration of surgery was 210 minutes. Mean length of inpatient stay was 3 days. No cases of recurrence were identified at 12 months follow up.Conclusions:Laparoscopic surgery is a safe option in morbidly obese women to treat early stage endometrial cancer with favourable oncological outcomes.
