OBJECTIVE: To compare different techniques of minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy and robotics) to abdominal surgery in order to identify the optimal surgical technique in the treatment of @entity1204 . METHODS AND MATERIALS: A single-institutional, matched, retrospective, cohort study was performed. All @entity1 with clinical stage I or occult stage II @entity1204 who underwent robotic hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy      lymphadenectomy from August 2010 and December 2013 were identified. Surgical and oncological outcomes were compared with @entity1 matched by age, body mass index, @entity5 histology, and grade, who underwent abdominal or laparoscopic surgery between January 2001 and December 2013. RESULTS: Three groups were identified: 177 laparotomies (group A), 277 laparoscopies (group B) and 72 robotics (group C). There were no statistically significant differences between the three groups in terms of age, BMI and FIGO stage. The operative time was shortest in group B (p  =  0.0001). @entity190 and transfusions were equivalent in group B and C, while they were greater in group A (p  =  0.0001). The intra-operative, early and late @entity260 , rate of conversion, the re-intervention and median hospital stay were lower in group C. The rate of recurrence and @entity204 from disease was similar in all three groups. CONCLUSIONS: Minimally invasive surgery was superior to abdominal surgery in terms of surgical outcomes. Robotic surgery was superior to laparoscopy in terms of intra- and post-operative complications, conversion rates, length of hospital stay and re-interventions. In terms of oncological outcomes the three groups were equivalent.
