Abstract：Endometrial carcinoma is one of the most common gynecologic malignant tumor. Recent prospective data showed that, with the progress of laparoscopic operation techniques, minimally invasive surgery in patients with endometrial cancer treatment have been implemented. It is widely agreed that for early endometrial cancer standard operation treatment including operation excise uterus and bilateral tubal ovarian. Latest development of robotic surgical platform can offer optional advanced technologies for traditional laparoscopic surgery which demanding more, and can increase the number of patients with endometrial cancer treatment using minimally invasive surgery. The surgical treatment of early endometrial carcinoma combined abdominal and pelvic lymph node cleaning staging surgery as well as keep the reproductive function of patients with clinical effect has been a hot topic. The benefits of comprehensive staging operation, including lymph node cleaning in patients with early endometrial cancer is still controversial. This paper will review the current progress in the definition of early endometrial cancer, prognostic factors and new operation treatment and some are being incorporated into the new technology.
