Brief Summary
The purpose of the trial is to determine whether robot assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy compared with abdominal hysterectomy in a fast track program gives a faster recovery postoperatively, causes less tissue damage and less effects on the immunological system, and is health economically cost-effective.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: - Over 18 years of age. - Scheduled to total hysterectomy + bilateral salpingooophorectomy (BSAE) and peritoneal lavage because of endometrial carcinoma, International federation of gynecology and obstetrics (FIGO) stage 1, grade 1 and 2, with diploid DNA profile (i.e. low risk profile). - WHO performance status ≤ 2. - Proficiency in Swedish - Accept to participate in the study and has signed written informed consent document. - The operation should be considered possible to be perform laparoscopically and by laparotomy through a low transverse abdominal wall incision. Exclusion Criteria: - The operation is anticipated to comprise more than the hysterectomy + BSAE. - A midline incision is planned for the laparotomy. - Contraindications towards spinal anesthesia with intrathecally applied morphine. - Physically disabled women who cannot be expected to be mobilized in accordance to the fast track program in a way similar to what is expected from not-physically disabled women. - Mentally disabled women who cannot fill in the questionnaires or understand the consequences of participating in a trial. - Severe psychiatric disease or on medication for psychiatric disease so that the physician consider participation in the trial inappropriate.
