Objective |
The objective of the study was to compare adverse event rates between laparoscopic vs open surgery for endometrial cancer.
Study Design |
This was a retrospective cohort study comparing 107 women who underwent laparoscopy with 269 age- and body mass index–matched women who underwent laparotomy for treatment of endometrial cancer.
Results |
Adverse event rates were similar between cohorts (37% laparoscopy vs 43% laparotomy, P = .248). Laparotomies had higher rates of cellulitis (16% vs 7%, P = .018) and open wound infection (9% vs 2%, P = .02), whereas laparoscopy had higher rates of sensory peripheral nerve deficit (5% vs 0%, P = .008) and lymphedema (7% vs 1%, P = .003). Laparoscopy was associated with longer mean operating room times but with shorter hospital stays and lower mean blood loss.
Conclusion |
Laparoscopy was associated with decreased rates of surgical site infections but had an increased risk of peripheral sensory nerve deficits and lymphedema when compared with laparotomy.
