To assess outcomes of women with cervical cancer undergoing upfront radical hysterectomy (RH) via a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) or a traditional laparotomy (XL) approach at 2 large US academic institutions to determine whether the mode of surgery affects patient outcomes.
There was no statistical difference between the groups in regards to age, gender, diagnosis, history of prior abdominal surgery, or mode of surgery (open vs. laparoscopic).
The similar percentages of patients with higher PTV-V107% and TV-V110% may explain why the mode of surgery did not significantly affect the incidence of radiation dermatitis.
However, we did not have all information pertinent to patient care (comorbidities, routes to diagnosis, functional state, symptoms at the time of diagnosis, and mode of surgery).
In our study, the triple-flap method was modified by changing the mode of surgery and the suturing method, but the resection method was retained [ 16].
Lymph node dissection of the pulmonary hilum and mediastinum combined with a lobectomy was first introduced by Cahan 11 as an alternative to the pneumonectomy, which was respected as a standard mode of surgery.
The strengths of this study are the inclusion of people with hip fracture who have similar characteristics to the Australian report of 16,518 patients with hip fracture [ 8] with a similar mean age (83.0 vs 83.9 years), hip fracture subtype (53% vs 51% with neck femur fractures), and mode of surgery (61.3% vs 60.1% internal fixation).
The mode of hysteroscopic surgery may be important with avoidance of electrosurgery for myomectomy where adhesions have been documented adjacent to the excised pathology [46, 47, 48].
There was no statistically significant difference between gender, marital status, locality, education, income, occupation, physical activity, smoking, cancer site, illness duration and mode of treatment, surgery related to cancer and presence of depression and anxiety.
