Most experts would agree that the standard surgical treatment for endometrial cancer includes a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy; however, the benefit of full surgical staging with lymph node dissection in patients with apparent early stage disease remains a topic of debate. Recent prospective data and advances in laparoscopic techniques have transformed this disease into one that can be successfully managed with minimally invasive surgery. This review will discuss the current surgical management of apparent early stage endometrial cancer and some of the new techniques that are being incorporated.

Objective The aim of the present study was to determine the role of the duodenum in controlling sphincter of Oddi(SO) motility using conscious dogs after total duodenectomy. Methods In a control group (n=6), a cannula was implanted into the duodenum opposite to the papilla to allow sphincter of Oddi manometry. In a duodenectomy group (n=6), the papillae were preserved at total duodenectomy and sutured to the jejunum anastomosed to the stomach (neoduodenum). The cannula was implanted opposite to the implanted papillae. Interdigestive and postprandial sphincter of Oddi and duodenal or neoduodenal motility were recorded by manometric and myoelectric methods. Results Duodenectomy disrupted SO cyclic motility. Conclusions During the interdigestive period, the duodenum has a distinct role in regulating sphincter of Oddi cyclic motility.
