Prospective cohort study comparing quality of life and sexual health outcomes between women undergoing robotic, laparoscopic and open surgery for endometrial cancer.

CONCLUSION: Minimally invasive approaches result in improved QOL beyond the short-term postoperative period, with benefits noted up to 12 weeks after surgery. This prolonged QOL advantage provides further evidence that MIS should be the standard surgical approach for women with early stage endometrial cancer.
