Abstract: The transformations of medical pattern bring the challenge for the minimally invasive surgical. With the innovation of the science and medical technology, minimally invasive technology developed quickly in recent 20 years. It has been applied to the management of gynecologic malignancies with promising result. Its advantage involving the relatively small incision, less intraoperative blood loss and operative complication, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and so on. Not only that, compared with traditional laparotomy, it has no obvious difference with regard to the number of dissected lymph nodes, overall and disease-free survival rates. So it is safety and feasibility to treat endometrial cancer. At present, minimally invasive operation technologies for endometrial cancer, including traditional laparoscopic surgery, laparoscopic single-site surgery, robotic surgery and robot assisted laparoscopic single-site surgery. In this article the application of minimally invasive surgical in treating endometrial cancer is reviewed, involving the advantages, limitations and future direction of minimally invasive surgery. Hoping to provide some help for clinicians according to patients condition to choose operation.
