“…5,16,22Y25 Numerous early stage ovarian cancer studies have evaluated the utility of laparoscopic staging, 16,22,23,26 although there are scant data documenting the use of this procedure via robotic-assisted surgery (Table 3). 19,20 In the current investigation, we scrutinized the data from 26 early-stage ovarian cancer patients for whom roboticassisted disease staging was indicated. We encountered a reasonable operative time of 2.90 hours for the study group, which is comparable to the 2.32 hours reported by Feuer et al 20 that involved a comparison of robotic-assisted surgery (n = 63) and abdominal surgery (n = 26) in the management of ovarian cancer.…”
