Popis: Objectives To evaluate recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) for patients who underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy (RALH) for uterine malignancies. Methods Medical records from 372 patients with uterine malignancies who underwent RALH from 3/06 to 3/09 at two institutions were reviewed for clinico-pathologic data, adjuvant therapies, disease recurrence, and survival. Median follow-up for survival analysis was 31±14months. Thirty (8.1%) patients were lost to follow-up before 12months and censored from the recurrence analysis. Results Mean age and BMI of 372 patients was 61.8±9.8years and 32.2±8.4kg/m 2 (range 19–70). Robotic procedures included RALH 16 (4.3%), RALH with pelvic lymphadenectomy (PL) 96 (25.8%), and RALH with pelvic-and-aortic lymphadenectomy (PAL) 252 (67.7%) cases. Histology included 319 (85.8%) endometrioid and 53 (12.6%) high-risk histologies. Mean pelvic and aortic lymph node counts were 16.8±8.7 and 8.4±4.5, respectively. Lymph node metastases were identified in 26 (7.3%) cases. Adjuvant therapies were prescribed for 108 (29.1%) of patients: 7.8% brachytherapy, 1.9% pelvic radiation+brachytherapy, 7.8% chemotherapy, 11.6% chemotherapy+radiation. Risk of recurrence for all patients was 8.3% and 17 (4.6%) patients died of disease. The estimated 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) for the entire study group was 89.3% and the estimated 5-year overall survival (OS) was 89.1%, compared to 92.5% and 93.4% for the endometrioid sub-set. Conclusions Patients with endometrial cancer undergoing robotic hysterectomy with staging lymphadenectomies during our 3-years of robotic experience had low-risk for recurrence and excellent disease-specific survival at a median follow-up time of 31months.
