Medico-economic Evaluation of Robot-assisted Laparoscopy Compared With Conventional Laparoscopy in Hysterectomy for Endometrial Cancer.

In the researchers' words

The standard treatment for endometrial cancer is surgery, as long as the stage of the disease and the patient's condition allow. It consists of hysterectomy (TSH) with bilateral adnexectomy. The recommended surgical approach is the minimally invasive or laparoscopic route, whose oncological safety has been demonstrated by the LAP2 study. Since 2010 and the arrival of robotic surgery in gynaecology, the robot-assisted laparoscopic approach has gradually been used for endometrial cancer Hysterectomy. Several studies have suggested that the cost and effectiveness of laparoscopy may vary according to the age and body mass index of the patient. The investigators therefore hypothesise that robot-assisted laparoscopy may be more efficient than conventional laparoscopy for endometrial cancer hysterectomy in the context of an advanced learning curve in France. The investigators therefore hypothesise that robot-assisted laparoscopy could be more efficient than conventional laparoscopy for endometrial cancer hysterectomy in the context of an advanced learning curve in France. The investigators will also test the efficiency of the surgical technique as a function of age and Body mass Index.
