Abstract: Patients with gynecological malignant tumor are relatively older than patients with benign gynecological diseases. The operation process for gynecological cancers is more complicated and need longer operation time than for benign gynecological diseases. Malignant tumor has possibility of wound planting and recurrence. Many doctors worry about peri-operation complications and the prognosis of patients with gynecologic cancers received minimally invasive operation. At present, the minimally invasive operation in gynecological malignant tumor was far less than in the benign gynecological diseases. But a lot of literature shows that in cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer and other gynecological malignant tumors, the prognosis and peri-operation complication rate in patients treated with laparoscopic radical operation are similar or even better than patients treated with traditional open operation. In conclusion, minimally invasive treatment of gynecologic malignant tumor by doctors with laparoscopic operation skills is feasible, reasonable and safe.
