Robotic surgery in obese patients with early-stage endometrial cancer.

Abstract

AIM: ) with early stage endometrial cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS: (group 2). Basic demographics and perioperative period outcomes were extracted from the medical records and compared. RESULTS: Group 1 included fifty patients and group 2 included 24 patients. There were no significant differences in surgical outcomes or complication rates between the two groups (p > 0.05 for all). There were no differences in pelvic nodal counts or length of stay. CONCLUSIONS: Robotic surgery was found to be feasible and safe for obese patients with endometrial cancer. Its widespread application needs a larger sample with longer follow-up.
