Robotic-assisted versus conventional laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer: long-term results of a randomized controlled trial
The results of this randomized controlled trial suggest a minor overall survival benefit in endometrial cancer after robotic-assisted laparoscopy compared to conventional laparoscopy. Hence, the use of robotic-assisted technique in the treatment of endometrial cancer seems safe, though larger randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm any potential survival benefit. No alarming safety signals were detected in the robotic-assisted group since the rate of long-term complications differed only in the incidence of trocar site hernia.
