Endometrial carcinoma is the most common type of gynaecological cancer. Its primary incidence is highest around the age of 60. The majority of cases are detected at an early stage and therefore have a good prognosis. The majority of patients suffer from obesity, which makes primary surgical treatment difficult. Minimally invasive surgery, as recommended by international protocols, is the first choice for appropriate surgical treatment and significantly reduces the incidence of complications for patients. Robotic techniques are particularly important in the care of patients with often abnormal obesity. In this article, we summarise our knowledge of endometrial carcinoma and our experience with da Vinci robot-assisted surgery, which started almost 2 years ago at Semmelweis University.
