Comparison of Minimally Invasive Surgery and Abdominal Surgery Among Patients With Cervical Cancer

The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference in clinical outcomes in patients with histologically confirmed cervical cancer of the uterus treated with either laparoscopy or laparotomy with curative intent between 2011 and 2017 at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of University Hosp...

Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference in clinical outcomes in patients with histologically confirmed cervical cancer of the uterus treated with either laparoscopy or laparotomy with curative intent between 2011 and 2017 at the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of University Hospital Cologne. This retrospective analysis included all patients who received surgical treatment with curative intent between January 2011 and December 2017 for stages IA1 to IIB cervical carcinoma. Patients receiving primary or secondary surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were also included. In total, 75 patients were included, of whom 34 patients underwent minimally invasive surgery and 41 underwent open surgery. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was performed in 10 patients in the minimally-invasive group and in 14 patients in the laparotomy group. Statistically, no significant difference in overall survival (OS) was observed in both groups. Disease-free survival showed a significant difference in favor of the minimally invasive group. Minimally invasive surgical therapy for cervical cancer improves disease-free-survival. Prospective trials are needed to further confirm these results.
