Sentinel Lymphadenectomy and 3D Advanced Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) for Endometrial Cancer
22 August 2025

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynaecological tumour among postmenopausal women. Thanks to advanced surgical techniques and minimally invasive procedures, treatment today is safer, more effective, and allows for significantly faster recovery.
At Plodnost Hospital, a 54-year-old patient diagnosed with stage IA endometrial cancer successfully underwent a combination of sentinel lymphadenectomy and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) performed with cutting-edge 3D laparoscopic technology.
Benefits of the sentinel approach
The sentinel technique allows for the precise identification of the first lymph nodes at risk of cancer spread. This approach:
-
Reduces the need for extensive lymphadenectomy
-
Minimises the risk of complications such as lymphedema
-
Enables a faster and safer post-operative recovery


3D advanced laparoscopy – the future of surgery
The implementation of 3D laparoscopy offers multiple advantages:
-
Enhanced visualisation for accurate and safe surgical dissection
-
Minimal trauma to surrounding tissues
-
Shorter hospital stay – our patient was discharged the very next day
-
Faster return to daily activities
This innovative technique ensures greater surgical precision while maximising patient comfort and safety.
