About this trial
The aim of this study is to compare two types of lymphadenectomy (transperitoneal vs. paracervical) during the lymphadenectomy phase of endometrial cancer staging surgery performed using V-NOTES, a new and advanced technique. This study seeks to optimize the V-NOTES technique for endometrial cancer staging. This randomized, prospective, controlled study will include patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer via histology, following physical examination and imaging, and who are electively scheduled for the V-NOTES endometrial cancer staging procedure. Patients will be randomized into two groups: the transvaginal paracervical lymphadenectomy group and the transperitoneal lymphadenectomy group. The parameters related with surgical and functional outcomes will be compared in both groups.
Eligibility criteria

Disqualifiers
Contraindications to using methylene blue dye or contraindications to the vNOTES procedure.
Patients who have had previous malignancy surgery.
Severe, deeply penetrating endometriosis or enlarged uterus that may require forced vaginal extraction
Receiving neodajuvant therapy
