Background: Feasibility and outcome of robotic-assisted laparoscopy (RAL) for endometrial cancer was evaluated with a mean follow-up of 4 years. Methods: Robotic hysterectomy (RH) and type B robotic radical hysterectomy (RRH), with or without pelvic lymphadenectomy (PLH), was performed on 51 consecutive patients. Records were reviewed for demographic data, medical/surgical history and comorbidities, perioperative findings and outcomes, as well as long-term complications and recurrences. Regarding stage, according to 2009 FIGO, 25% of cases were IA, while 20%, 53% and 2% of cases were, respectively, IB, II and IIIA stage. Results: Twenty-eight patients underwent RRH + PLH (54.9%), four patients underwent RH with concurrent nodal sampling (NS) (7.8%); a total of 32 PLH were performed (62.6%).The median operative time for RRH + PLH was 255 min (range: 160-435). Pathology confirmed the adequacy of the surgical specimen. Conclusion: Our data support the adoption of RAL staging in patients with endometrial cancer, including those with cervical involvement, and demonstrate good long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Background: Feasibility and outcome of robotic-assisted laparoscopy (RAL) for endometrial cancer was evaluated with a mean follow-up of 4 years. Methods: Robotic hysterectomy (RH) and type B robotic radical hysterectomy (RRH), with or without pelvic lymphadenectomy (PLH), was performed on 51 consecutive patients. Records were reviewed for demographic data, medical/surgical history and comorbidities, perioperative findings and outcomes, as well as long-term complications and recurrences. Regarding stage, according to 2009 FIGO, 25% of cases were IA, while 20%, 53% and 2% of cases were, respectively, IB, II and IIIA stage. Results: Twenty-eight patients underwent RRH + PLH (54.9%), four patients underwent RH with concurrent nodal sampling (NS) (7.8%); a total of 32 PLH were performed (62.6%).The median operative time for RRH + PLH was 255 min (range: 160-435). Pathology confirmed the adequacy of the surgical specimen. Conclusion: Our data support the adoption of RAL staging in patients with endometrial cancer, including those with cervical involvement, and demonstrate good long-term outcomes.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
