Robotic assisted surgery for gynaecological cancer

Short‐term outcomes of robot‐assisted versus conventional laparoscopic surgery for early‐stage endometrial cancer: A retrospective, single‐center study

“…Minimally invasive hysterectomy has been increasingly used for the treatment of endometrial cancer, with RAS accounting for more than half of the procedures.5 Although there have been no prospective randomized trials to compare the outcomes of CLS and RAS for endometrial cancer, it was reported in a recent review that included several meta-analyses comparing data from RAS-, laparoscopy-, and laparotomy-treated patients with endometrial cancer that there were less complications in the RAS group than in the CLS group, with less EBL and fewer conversions to laparotomy. 8,[18][19][20][21][22][23] In addition, RAS was found to have better clinical outcomes than laparotomy in terms of complications and length of hospital stay. 24,25 The robotic platform offers increased visibility, precision and dexterity during surgery, which translates into lower values for these parameters.…”

Comparing Robotic Surgery With Conventional Laparoscopy and Laparotomy for Cervical Cancer Management

“…The limitation of this current study is that the observation period is short and a larger randomized controlled trial is required to examine the long-term survival. 31 Another limitation is that the cohort of patients was not unselected cases, whereas the surgeon made suggestions on the surgical approach and the patients did selfselection to undergo robotic, laparoscopic, or laparotomy procedure. In conclusion, we suggest that robotic surgery is a feasible and potentially optimal option for the management of stage IA to IIB cervical cancer.…”

“…Aufgrund der schlechten Studienqualität wurde jedoch von einer Interpretation der Studienergebnisse Abstand genommen [13]. Dies liegt eher an der unteren Grenze -in großen Zentren liegt die Up-Staging-Rate eher bei 30 -50% [23,24].…”
