Comparison of Perioperative Complications of Early-Stage Endometrial Cancer Between Laparotomy, Laparoscopic, and Robotic-assisted Surgery using DPC Data: A Retrospective Cohort Study in Japan.

In this retrospective study, we used 4 years of data from the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination to analyze perioperative sequelae for each surgical procedure.

The number of robotic-assisted surgeries is increasing, but hospitals with low surgical volumes performed laparotomy at a rate of 57.6%, while hospitals with higher surgical volume tended to perform fewer laparotomies and more laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgeries.
