Overview

Surgery

  • Total hysterectomy is curative for atypical endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia.[1]
    • Surgery may also provide an opportunity for an intraoperative assessment of a concurrent carcinoma.[1]
  • Total hysterectomy may not be an option for patients who desire pregnancy or those unfit to undergo surgery and are treated conservatively.[1]
