Materials and methods: Prospective analysis of 143 patients operated in Gynecological Department of District Hospital in Rzeszow because of endometrial cancer was performed.

Results: 75 of 143 patients were qualified to pelvic lymphadenectomy. In 44 patients it was performed without any limitations, in 11 patients it was limited, and in 20 patients it was waived.
