This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized non-inferiority phase III study to evaluate if patients undergoing a minimally invasive surgery for early stage uterine cancer have cancer cells in the fluid that is obtained at the time of their surgery when a uterine manipulator is placed versus patients who do not have a uterine manipulator placed.
In most cases, patients who have early stage endometrial cancer undergo a surgery to remove the uterus, cervix, tubes, ovaries, and occasionally lymph nodes. This is usually done through a minimally invasive (not a large incision) surgery. To accomplish this, the uterus needs to be manipulated (moved around) to help the surgeon complete your surgery. This is usually done with a device called a uterine manipulator and the majority of surgeons use this device in any patient undergoing a minimally invasive hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and cervix).
Even though the majority of surgeons use a manipulator, there are some surgeons who believe there is a possibility that cancer cells inside the uterus can be spilled into the abdomen through the fallopian tubes. This may cause a higher risk of spreading the cancer and or of the cancer coming back.
Currently, there are very limited research studies directly looking at whether the uterine manipulator may cause these cells to appear in the abdomen.
The purpose of this study is to see if patients undergoing a minimally invasive surgery for early stage uterine cancer have cancer cells in the fluid that is obtained at the time of their surgery when a uterine manipulator is placed versus patients who do not have a uterine manipulator placed.
A computer program will randomly assign the subjects to one of two groups. One group will have minimally invasive surgery with the use of a uterine manipulator and the other group will have minimally invasive surgery without the use of a uterine manipulator.
Researchers will use the information from this study to decide how best to take care of patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery for uterine cancer.

LVSI is defined as the presence of tumor cells within a definite endothelial-lined space (lymphatics or blood vessels) at the advancing edge of the tumor as it invades the myometrium, within an endometrial polyp, or within the endometrial stroma.
| During surgery |
| Percentage of myometrial invasion (MI) | Defined as the % of invasion into the myometrium from the endomyometrial junction | During surgery |
| Extent of lymph node metastases | Defined as presence of isolated tumor cells (ITC - <0.2 mm), or micrometastasis (mm - 0.2 - 2 mm), or macrometastasis (MM - > 2 mm), whichever is greater. | During surgery |
| Operative time | Defined as time from start of operation to closure of skin in minutes as documented in the electronic medical record | 1 day |
| Surgical morbidity | Surgical morbidity (CTCAE v5.0) grade 3 and higher, or any grade of the following adverse events: colonic fistula, colonic perforation, enterovesical fistula, gastrointestinal fistula, ileus, intra-abdominal hemorrhage, rectal fistula, rectal perforation, small intestinal perforation, abdominal infection, pelvic infection, vaginal infection, intra-operative arterial injury, venous injury, intra-operative gastrointestinal injury, intra-operative hemorrhage, intra-operative neurological injury, intra-operative urinary injury, and post-operative hemorrhage. | Intra-operative and up to 30 days post-surgery |
