Few studies have compared the efficacy of robot-assisted, laparoscopic, and open surgeries for endometrial cancer.

In total, 175 patients with endometrial cancer of preoperative stage IA, who had undergone laparotomic (n = 80), laparoscopic (n = 40), or robot-assisted (n = 55) modified radical hysterectomy at our hospital from 2010 to 2022, were included; surgical outcomes, perioperative complications, and prognoses were compared...
