Is pre-operative risk-assessment in laparoscopic treatment of presumed low-risk endometrial cancer effective?

---

Abstract In endometrial (pre)malignancy the pre-operative work-up is primarily based on the histopathological specimen obtained. Total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral
salpingo-oophorectomy (TLH + BSO) in presumed low-risk clinical stage I endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC) or atypical hyperplasia (AH), is nowadays considered preferred
and sufficient treatment in the Netherlands. To test the effec-tiveness of this pre operative work-up, a retrospective cohort analysis was performed. Revised pre- and post-operative his-topathologywas compared and intra- and post-operative com-plications registered. In 116 consecutive patients with a pre-operative diagnosis of AH or presumed stage I, grade I or II EEC planned for TLH + BSO. In 24.1 % (28/116) revised endometrial histopathology was upgraded on the definitive hysterectomy specimen. In 3.5 % (4/116) pgrading to high-risk grade III endometrial cancer (EC) was observed. In 9.9% (8/81) of EC cases a post-operative FIGO stage IG3, II, or III was diagnosed. The major and minor short-term complication rates of TLH + BSO were 12.1 and 7.8 %. In 13.8% (16/116) of cases conversion to laparotomy was necessary, with a significant higher percentage of obese (68.8 %) patients in the conversion versus the successful TLH + BSO group (42 %). Clinical relevant inconsistency between pre- and post-operative histopathology or FIGO stage was observed in 9.9 % of EC cases. More extensive pre-operative risk analysis of presumed low-risk EEC may be indicated, espe-cially for the morbid obese, harboring a substantial risk for conversion to laparotomy and complications.
