Although the benefits of this technique have not yet been established in a prospective randomized manner, we showed the technical feasibility of robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical hysterectomy in early-stage cervical carcinoma cases and better results than with traditional total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy.
In stage IA CC, similar oncological survival outcomes were observed for MIRH and ARH.• In stage IB1 CC, MIRH yielded a significantly shorter TTR, CSS and OS than ARH.• In stage IB1 CC ≤2 cm, MIRH yielded a significantly shorter TTR, CSS and OS than ARH when conization was not performed.• Intraperitoneal combined recurrences accounted for 40.0% of all recurrences after MIRH compared to 0.0% after ARH.• No intraperitoneal combined recurrences were observed in patients who underwent conization with clean margins.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
