Purpose: Robotic surgery has been incorporated in the treatment of endometrial cancer, with evidence suggesting that minimal access surgery offers advantages over laparotomy including less blood loss, lower rate of perioperative complications, and accelerated postoperative recovery. The laparoscopic approach to cervical cancer (LACC) study has recently demonstrated inferior survival outcomes in cervical cancer patients treated with minimal access surgery including robotic surgery. It is, therefore, imperative that further evaluation of the latter in endometrial cancer is performed.

Design: Stepwise demonstration of the technique with narrated video footage.
Setting: Sentinel lymph node sampling has been established as an acceptable staging method in endometrial cancer cases.
Background/aim: This study aimed to identify differences in the pattern and timing of recurrence in patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing primary (PDS) or interval debulking surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).
Patients And Methods: Data were prospectively collected on 105 patients from June 2016 to March 2020.
Results: There were 30 (50%) recurrences in the PDS group compared to 32 (72.
Background/aim: We aimed to identify differences in cytoreduction rates and procedures performed in patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing primary (PDS) or interval debulking surgery (IDS).
Patients And Methods: Data were collected prospectively on 110 consecutive patients from June 2016 to Mar 2020.
Results: Forty-nine patients (44.
