In order to care for the gynecologic oncology patient, the basic language must be reviewed. A hysterectomy can be done through an open incision in the abdomen, through the vagina, or laparoscopically. These are respectively called, "TAH, LVH, LAVH" when Most endometrial cancers are linked to obesity and the complication rate for healing with a large mid- line incision can be costly both financially anal physically. Unfortunately, weight can also be an inhibitor in use of laparoscopic surgery. According to Seamon, et al., the average BMI in studies reporting successful laparoscopic staging ranges from 25-40kg/m2. (Obstetrics and Gynecology, December 2008). However, in robotic assisted endometrial surgeries the BMI limit ranges from 50-55kg/m2.
