In recent years, with the development and maturation of minimally invasive techniques, laparoscopic and robotic surgery has been increasingly used in clinical practice, and several authoritative guidelines recommend minimally invasive surgery as a standard surgical approach for early-stage endometrial cancer. Several previous randomized controlled trials have confirmed the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic surgery, but the results of the Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer Trial showed that the overall survival rate of patients with early-stage cervical cancer was lower than that of open surgery, which has triggered extensive controversies on the safety of laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, this article reviews a large amount of domestic and international literatures and presents a review of the research progress and safety of laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer, intending to provide a reference for clinical and scientific work.
