This section aims to indicate the number of surgical procedures related to uterine cancer.
The uterus is a muscular organ that is part of the female reproductive system.
Most uterine cancers involve the endometrium, the most superficial tissue (lining the internal cavity of the organ).
Surgery is the main treatment for uterine cancers, performed through an incision in the abdominal wall or through the vagina.
It is important to know that there are indicators, developed by the National Outcomes Program (PNE), developed by AGENAS on behalf of the Ministry of Health, which provide information on the number of interventions and their outcomes.
A specific indicator has been developed for uterine cancer based on the number of surgeries performed. The greater the number of surgeries performed by a healthcare facility, the greater the experience of its staff.
The Find Facilities tool was developed to provide you with as much information as possible about the services available in accredited public and private hospitals. In the “Facility Details” section, you can check the availability of “Transfusion Center” and “Resuscitation Service” services for each facility found. These services improve the timeliness of treatment in the event the patient requires blood and/or intensive care, thus avoiding a potential increase in critical situations related to the surgical procedures the patient has undergone.
Your doctor will address your concerns and guide you in making an informed decision about the treatment plan to follow. Contact him or her for all the information you need for your health needs.
