Article Synopsis
  • This study looked at two types of surgeries for a kind of cancer called high-grade uterine adenocarcinoma to see which was better: robot-assisted laparoscopy (RA) or traditional laparoscopy (LSC).
  • Out of 901 patients, most had RA surgery, but both methods had similar rates of complications and how long patients lived after the surgery.
  • The results showed that RA surgery was just as effective as LSC in treating this cancer, with no extra risks for patients who had robot-assisted surgery.

Objective: To compare long-term oncologic outcomes in patients with clinically uterine-confined endometrioid endometrial cancer who underwent surgical staging with robot-assisted (RA) versus conventional laparoscopy.

Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients with newly diagnosed, uterine-confined endometrioid endometrial cancer who were treated and had primary surgery at our institution between 1/1/2009-1/1/2018. Clinicopathologic, surgical, and survival data were collected.
