Impact of minimally invasive surgery on surgical outcomes for obese women with endometrial cancer following robotic surgery introduction; a single centre study.

Background: The aim was to assess the surgical outcomes in obese women with endometrial cancer following robotic surgery introduction in a London tertiary gynaecological cancer unit.

Methods: Data was prospectively collected for 281 women undergoing endometrial cancer surgery in 2016, 2018 and 2019 (robotic surgery was introduced in November 2017).

Results: The proportion of obese and morbidly obese patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery (MIS) significantly increased following robotic surgery introduction from 43.
