Robot vs. standard surgery: which is safer for Women's cancers?
NCT ID NCT01247779
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 386 women with cervical, uterine, or ovarian cancer to compare standard laparoscopic surgery versus robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. The goal was to see which approach causes fewer complications within six months after the operation. Researchers tracked side effects, pain control, and surgeon comfort to help guide future surgical choices.
