We accumulated the data to identify the completion of learning curve by analyzing the operative and postoperative outcomes of the patients in endometrial cancer for transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (TU-LESS). Methods: This was a retrospective consecutive single-center study of patients with endometrial cancer undergoing standard endometrial cancer comprehensive staging surgery (extrafascial hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy) through TU-LESS by an experienced surgeon from
