I m have stage one uterine cancer. I m having a hysterectomy with the Da Vinci robot and I just read about the method of getting the uterous out called morcellation . And I was wondering if there is another way of removing the uterous than this method because I read it could spread cancer cells around when it is grinding up the uterous. Can you help me make a decision?
Stage 1 cancer uterus is curable after the uterus is removed. There is no risk of cancer cells spreading if the uterus is removed completely without touching the tumor area or cutting through the tumor. If you do not undergo robotic surgery other method is open surgery or manual laparoscopic surgery.
