New robot could improve endometrial cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT07027046
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new robotic system, called da Vinci SP, for surgery to stage and treat endometrial cancer. The surgery involves removing the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes, and checking nearby lymph nodes. Researchers want to see if this robot is safe and effective for these procedures. About 564 patients will take part in this study across multiple centers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Robotic surgical staging using the da Vinci SP system
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that the da Vinci SP system is a safe and effective option for endometrial cancer surgery, potentially improving recovery and outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. Complications from surgery are possible, and the new robotic system may not offer advantages over existing methods.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years * Histologically confirmed endometrial carcinoma (including uterine carcinosarcoma) * Performance status (ECOG) 0 - 1 * Patients undergoing staging surgery for endometrial cancer, including but not limited to robotic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (ovarian preservation in selected patients is not an exclusion criterion) and possible sentinel lymph node biopsy/pelvic ± para-aortic lymphadenectomy * Signed informed consent to participate in the study Exclusion Criteria: * Patients scheduled for an additional extra-genital surgical procedure during the staging surgery for endometrial carcinoma * Patients with anesthesiological contraindications to a minimally invasive approach * Synchronous tumor * Recurrence of endometrial carcinoma * Dementia or significantly altered mental status that may impair understanding and the ability to provide informed consent * Any reason that may interfere with regular follow-up, even if limited to the first 30 days post-surgery
