Is There Any Other Way Excepting Hysterectomy With Da Vinci Method To Cure Uterine Cancer?
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 uterous is curable after the uterous is removed. There is no risk of cancer cells spreading if the uterous is removed completely without touching the tumor area or cuuting through the tumor..
If you do not undergo robotic surgery other method is open surgery or manual laproscopic surgery.
