Description
Kanwal Majeed and colleagues compare robot-assisted and conventional keyhole surgery for endometrial cancer in a 2026 meta-analysis. Endometrial cancer is often staged with minimally invasive surgery, but whether robots improve outcomes over standard laparoscopy remained debated. Studies in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar up to April 2025 were pooled with random-effects models.
Outcomes covered organ injury during surgery, operating time, blood loss, transfusion, lymph nodes removed, conversion to open surgery, hospital stay, recurrence, and survival at three and five years. The synthesis weighs the trade-offs of robot assistance, including precision against longer setup and cost. The work gives surgical teams a consolidated evidence base for choosing between the two approaches.
