Comparison of survival outcomes between minimally invasive surgery and conventional open surgery for radical hysterectomy as primary treatment in patients with stage IB1-IIA2 cervical cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, MIS RH was associated with higher recurrence rates than open RH in patients with early-stage CC. However, MIS was not a poor prognostic factor among those with stage IB1 and cervical mass size ≤2 cm on pre-operative MRI.
