Background: This study aims to assess the comparative effectiveness and safety of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), laparoscopy (LPS), and laparotomy (LPT) in improving perioperative indicators, lymph node dissection, and tumor survival outcomes in patients with Endometrial carcinoma (EC) through a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Materials And Methods: We searched China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, WeiPu, China Biology Medicine Disc, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and Cohort studies (CSs) involving RAS, LPS and LPT in individuals with EC. The network meta-analysis employed a Bayesian framework to integrate direct and indirect evidence, calculating Odds Ratios (OR) and Mean Difference (MD).
