Single-Port Hysterectomy (R-SPH) Using the Da Vinci SP System in Low-Risk Endometrial Cancer

Patients with clinically confirmed endometrioid endometrial cancer at FIGO stage IA-IB were eligible for robotic single-port hysterectomy (R-SPH). Criteria included: well or moderately differentiated tumor grade (G1 or G2), sufficient vaginal access, uterine size under 12 weeks' gestation, adequate bone marrow, kidney, liver, and heart function, and an ECOG performance status of 2 or below. Exclusions applied to patients with significant cardiopulmonary disease, previous pelvic or abdominal radiation, or severe hip disease affecting positioning. Prior abdominal surgeries did not exclude patients from robotic surgery. Surgeries were performed using the Vinci Single-Site® system by a specialized team. Clinical data collected included age, BMI, FIGO stage, tumor grade, surgical margin status, and hospital stay duration. Operation times were divided into docking, console (surgical), and total operation times. Intraoperative assessments included complications, blood loss, hemoglobin changes, and transfusions if hemoglobin was ≤7 g/L. Postoperative complications were evaluated short- and long-term, including surgical, cardiac, and respiratory events.
