Özet

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether omentectomy, appendectomy, and peritoneal biopsy should be a routine part of staging surgery in endometrial carcinoma. Data of 97 patients who had been diagnosed with clinical stage I endometrial carcinoma were reviewed. Associations in the data obtained, pelvic and para-aortic lymph node status, depth of myometrial invasion, grade, and histology were investigated. The chi-square (chi (2)) test was used for statistical analysis.
