Laparoscopic vs. robotic-assisted laparoscopy in endometrial cancer staging: large retrospective single-institution study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study is to analyze and draw the potential differences between the robotic-assisted surgery (RS) and the laparoscopy (LPS) in endometrial cancer staging.

Methods

In this single-institution retrospective study we enrolled 1,221 consecutive clinical stage I-III endometrial cancer patients undergone minimally invasive surgical staging. We compared patients treated by LPS and by RS, on the basis of perioperative and oncological outcomes (disease-free survival [DFS] and overall survival [OS]). A sub-analysis of the high-risk endometrial cancer population was performed in the 2 cohorts.

Results

The 2 cohorts (766 treated by LPS and 455 by RS) were homogeneous in terms of perioperative and pathological data. We recorded differences in number of rela
