What Type of Surgery Is Needed?
Most early-stage uterine and endometrial cancers are treated with laparoscopic or robotic surgery. These modern techniques:
- Avoid large incisions
- Minimize pain and recovery time
- Reduce the risk of complications
In almost all cases, surgery includes:
- Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and cervix)
- Sentinel lymph node mapping or lymphadenectomy
- Adnexectomy (removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes) in postmenopausal women or selected cases of premenopausal patients
Each decision is tailored to your diagnosis, your age, and your fertility or hormone preservation goals.
Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy. removes the uterus and cervix through a few small incisions. It is the gold standard for early-stage cancer.
At our clinic, we perform over 95% of these surgeries laparoscopically or with robotic assistance.
Patients from around the world trust our expertise to treat even the most complex cases that local providers may not manage.
Why It Matters:
- Shorter hospital stay (often 24 hours)
- Lower risk of blood loss and infection
We also prioritize nerve-sparing techniques to protect bladder, bowel, and sexual function—especially during radical hysterectomies.
All surgical procedures are performed by Dr. Lucas Minig, a global leader in complex gynecological surgery. Surgeries are performed under general anesthesia using 4 small incisions (5 mm) in the pelvis. The Surgery take over 90 - 120 minutes.
Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping
This technique identifies the first lymph node that may receive cancer cells from the uterus.
By injecting a dye and tracking its path, we often only need to remove 1–3 nodes instead of 20 radical lymph node removal
Benefits:
- Lower risk of swelling (lymphedema) & other complications
- Faster recovery
- More precise staging
Patients from around the world trust our expertise to treat even the most complex cases that local providers may not manage.
Do the Ovaries Always Need to Be Removed?
Not always. For premenopausal women with early-stage disease, we often preserve the ovaries safely—avoiding early menopause and the need for lifelong hormone therapy.
This decision depends on your cancer type and personal risk factors. We discuss it openly with you.

Is This Surgery Fertility-Sparing?
For early, select cases in younger women who wish to preserve fertility, we may consider hormonal therapy and careful monitoring in place of immediate hysterectomy. This is rare, but possible with thorough evaluation.

Frequently asked questions
What type of surgery is used to treat endometrial cancer?
The most common approach is a minimally invasive total hysterectomy, which removes the uterus and cervix. In certain cases, it may also include removal of the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and nearby lymph nodes, depending on how far the cancer has spread. Dr. Minig performs over 95% of these surgeries laparoscopically—meaning smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery.
