Robotic radical hysterectomy.

James Fanning, Rod Hojat, Jil Johnson, Bradford W. Fenton

Open publisher page 12 citations

Abstract

Robotic radical hysterectomy is increasingly being utilized in the treatment of cervical cancer and initial studies are promising. Compared to open radical hysterectomy, robotic radical hysterectomy is expected to result in decreased pain, infection, length of stay, and adhesions and quicker return to activity. Prospective randomized controlled trials are needed to compare robotic, laparoscopic and open radical hysterectomy for the treatment of cervical cancer.
