OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare surgical outcomes of robotic radical hysterectomy (RRH) using 3 robotic arms with those of @entity1661 ( @entity1661 ) in the treatment of @entity5 . METHODS: Thirty-two @entity1 with stage @entity9217 -IIB cervical @entity189 according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics underwent RRH between June 2006 and February 2009. @entity1 outcomes were compared with those of a historic cohort of 32 @entity1 who underwent @entity1661 , who were matched for age, stage according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, and type of radical surgery. RESULTS: All RRHs were completed robotically with no conversions to laparotomy. Robotic radical hysterectomy showed favorable outcomes over @entity1661 in terms of the mean length of hospital stay (11.6 vs 16.9 days, P < 0.001) and the mean estimated @entity190 (220 vs 531 mL, P = 0.002). The mean operating time and the number of lymph node retrievals were comparable. There were no significant differences in the incidence of @entity260 between the 2 groups. The mean follow-up time was 15.3 months, and 2 @entity1 in the RRH group had recurrences. CONCLUSIONS: Robotic radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy using 3 robotic arms is feasible and preferable over @entity1661 for the treatment of @entity5 @entity1 . Prospective randomized trials should be completed to confirm the potential benefits associated with RRH.
