The influence of learning curve of robot-assisted laparoscopy on oncological outcomes in early stage cervical cancer: an observational cohort study.

CONCLUSION: The learning phase of robot-assisted laparoscopy in early stage cervical cancer in this institutional cohort is at least 61 procedures, with higher survival rates in the patients treated thereafter. The learning curve of robot-assisted laparoscopy affects oncological outcomes and warrants more attention in the design of future studies.
