Article Abstract
Objective: To compare robotic radical hysterectomy to laparoscopic and radical abdominal hysterectomy in the treatment of cervical cancer.
Methods: Prospective analyses of thirty-two consecutive patients undergoing robotic radical hysterectomy were compared to 17 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and 14 patients undergoing radical abdominal hysterectomy.
Results: Operative time for the robotic group was 2.4 h+/-0.8 and not significantly different from the laparoscopic group at 2.2 h+/-0.7, nor the laparotomy group (1.9 h+/-0.6, p=0.05). The estimated blood loss for patients undergoing robotic hysterectomy was 130 cm(3) +/-119.4. This was significantly less than the laparotomy group (621.4 mL+/-294.0, p<0.0001), but not the laparoscopic group (209.4 mL+/-169.9, p=0.09). The robotic group had an average of 32.4 total nodes retrieved, as compared to 18.6 and 25.7 nodes retrieved in the laparoscopy and laparotomy cohorts, respectively. All differences were significant (p<0.0001 and p<0.05). Mean length of hospital stay was 2.6, 2.3 and 4.0 days in the robotic, laparoscopic, and laparotomy cohorts respectively. The incidence of postoperative complications was less in the robotic cohort (18.8%) as compared to the laparoscopic (23.5%), and laparotomy cohorts (28.6%).
Conclusions: Robotic total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy with pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy is feasible and may be preferable over laparoscopic or radical abdominal hysterectomy.

Objective: Clear cell borderline ovarian tumor is a rare subtype of borderline ovarian tumor for which the clinicopathological characteristics, management, and prognosis remain unclear. Herein, we describe the clinical features, treatment options, and prognosis of clear cell borderline ovarian tumors.
Study Design: This was a retrospective study of nine patients with pathologically confirmed clear cell borderline ovarian tumors treated at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between 2006 and 2023.

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological neoplasm with an increased incidence in the premenopausal population in recent decades. This raises the problem of managing endometrial cancer in fertile women who have not yet achieved pregnancy. In these women, after careful selection, hysterectomy may be postponed in favor of conservative management if specific requirements are met.

Background: Guidelines recommend the extension of the pelvic radiotherapy volume to the para-aortic region in locally advanced cervical cancer and ≥3 suspicious pelvic lymph nodes (PLN) on imaging. Whether this recommendation is also valid for clinically early stages is uncertain. The objective of this study was to investigate the para-aortic (PAO) lymph node recurrence rate in patients with early-stage cervical cancer, ≥3 metastatic PLN, and negative common iliac nodes after a radical hysterectomy followed by pelvic (chemo)radiotherapy without extension to the PAO region.

Objective: The laparoscopic approach to cervical cancer (LACC) trial highlighted the necessity of an open approach for radical hysterectomy due to its negative impact on oncological outcomes. While minimally invasive surgery is an option for other organ cancers, its application in cervical cancer remains a challenge for surgeons. In this study, we aimed to assess the oncological outcomes of patients with early-stage cervical cancer who underwent minimally invasive radical hysterectomy performed by experienced oncologic endoscopists in gynecology at a single institution.
