Robotic surgery has been approved as an alternative to laparoscopy to improve surgical outcomes. There is neither a consensus nor a systematic assessment of the literature about the superiority of the robotic approach over the laparoscopic one for sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in endometrial carcinoma (EC) women. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to compare the laparoscopic and robotic approaches for SLN biopsy in EC patients.

- The study evaluates the effectiveness of near infrared radiation imaging using indocyanine green (NIR-ICG) in laparoscopic surgeries for benign gynecologic conditions, focusing on both endometriosis and non-endometriosis patients.
- A systematic review included 16 studies involving 416 women, revealing that NIR-ICG enhances visualization of lesions and helps assess vascular perfusion during surgeries.
- While preliminary results suggest NIR-ICG is a safe and beneficial tool for improving surgical outcomes, more extensive and well-structured studies are necessary to confirm its efficacy.
Although Tao brush has become one of the most studied and used endometrial cytological samplers, concerns remain about the adequacy of the cytological sample compared with definitive histology. We aimed to assess accuracy of cytological examination from Tao brush sampling in diagnosing endometrial premalignancy and malignancy through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Seven electronic databases were searched from January 2000 to July 2021 for all studies which allowed assessment of accuracy of Tao brush in diagnosing endometrial premalignancy and malignancy.
