Surgical Treatment for Endometrial Cancer, Hysterectomy Performed via Minimally Invasive Routes Compared with Open Surgery: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1860. [PMID: 38791939 PMCID: PMC11119247 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16101860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy via minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has emerged as the standard of care for early-stage endometrial cancer (EC). Prior systematic reviews and meta-analyses have focused on outcomes reported solely from randomised controlled trials (RCTs), overlooking valuable data from non-randomised studies. This inaugural systematic review and network meta-analysis comprehensively compares clinical and oncological outcomes between MIS and open surgery for early-stage EC, incorporating evidence from randomised and non-randomised studies. Methods: This study was prospectively registered on PROSPERO (CRD42020186959). All original research of any experimental design reporting clinical and oncological outcomes of surgical treatment for endometrial cancer was included. Study selection was restricted to English-language peer-reviewed journal articles published 1 January 1995-31 December 2021. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was conducted. Results: A total of 99 studies were included in the network meta-analysis, comprising 181,716 women and 14 outcomes. Compared with open surgery, laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery demonstrated reduced blood loss and length of hospital stay but increased operating time. Compared with laparoscopic surgery, robotic-assisted surgery was associated with a significant reduction in ileus (OR = 0.40, 95% CrI: 0.17-0.87) and total intra-operative complications (OR = 0.38, 95% CrI: 0.17-0.75) as well as a higher disease-free survival (OR = 2.45, 95% CrI: 1.04-6.34). Conclusions: For treating early endometrial cancer, minimal-access surgery via robotic-assisted or laparoscopic techniques appears safer and more efficacious than open surgery. Robotic-assisted surgery is associated with fewer complications and favourable oncological outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A surgery is essential for the management of early endometrial carcinoma. Due to the comorbidities associated with the disease, the complications of surgery are common. Laparoscopic surgery may reduce surgical complications but also have oncological risks. We aimed to compare recurrence and overall survival (OS) associated with laparoscopy and laparotomy for early endometrial cancer. METHODS We included women treated for presumed early endometrial carcinoma at the Clinics Hospital of Ribeirão Preto Medical School from January 1998 to December 2017. We designed a 1:2 propensity score-matched case-control and compared the patients' characteristics, short-term outcomes, recurrence, and OS. RESULTS A total of 252 women were included in this study, 168 underwent laparotomy, and 84 underwent laparoscopy. The two groups were well balanced according to most of the variables, and obesity was a characteristic of patients in both groups. Laparoscopy was associated with increased surgical time (194.7 min vesus 165.6 min; p<0.001) and reduced rate of surgical complications (6.5% versus 0; p=0.038). Laparoscopic surgery was not associated with the risk of tumor recurrence (HR: 0.41, 95%CI 0.14-1.19, p=0.100) or all-cause mortality (HR: 0.49, 95%CI 0.18-1.35, p=0.170). CONCLUSION Laparoscopy was safe in terms of oncological outcomes and was associated with a lower rate of surgical complications. Our data support the use of minimally invasive surgery as the preferential approach in the management of early endometrial carcinoma.

Abstract
Hysterectomy is a commonly performed gynecologic surgery that can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. However, the evolution of the surgical approach, from open to minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS), has substantially improved patient outcomes by reducing perioperative complications, pain, and length of hospitalization. The evident advantages and the approval of the da Vinci Surgical System by the Food and Drug Administration led to the exponential rise in the use of MIGS. In particular, robotic hysterectomy (RH) witnessed unparalleled popularity compared to other MIGS despite the lack of strong evidence demonstrating its superiority. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review of the literature to evaluate and compare various patient and surgical outcomes of RH with conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy (CLH), including operating time, estimated blood loss, length of hospitalization, overall complications, survival, and cost. Overall, the outcomes were comparable between RH and CLH except concerning cost. RH is significantly more expensive than CLH due to the higher costs of robotic equipment, including disposable instruments, equipment maintenance, and sterilization. Although RH demonstrated comparable outcomes and higher costs, its technical advantages such as improved ergonomics, three-dimensional view, a wider range of wristed mobility, mechanical lifting of robot's hand, and greater stability might benefit patient subsets (e.g., obesity, large uterine weights >750 g). Therefore, large and multicentered randomized control trials are imperative to determine the most effective surgical approach between RH and other MIGS for different patient subsets.

[PMID: 30086293 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2018.07.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2018] [Revised: 07/26/2018] [Accepted: 07/30/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive hysterectomy is now used routinely for women with uterine cancer. Most studies of minimally invasive surgery for endometrial cancer have focused on low-risk endometrioid tumors, with few reports of the safety of the procedure for women with higher risk histologic subtypes. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the use of and survival associated with minimally invasive hysterectomy for women with uterine cancer and high-risk histologic subtypes. STUDY DESIGN We used the National Cancer Database to identify women with stages I-III uterine cancer who underwent hysterectomy from 2010-2014. Women with serous carcinomas, clear cell carcinomas, and sarcomas were examined. Women who had laparoscopic or robotic-assisted hysterectomy were compared with those who underwent open abdominal hysterectomy. After a propensity score inverse probability of treatment weighted analysis, the effect of minimally invasive hysterectomy on overall, 30-day, and 90-day mortality rates was examined for each histologic subtype of uterine cancer. RESULTS Of 94,507 patients who were identified, 64,417 patients (68.2%) underwent minimally invasive hysterectomy. Among women with endometrioid tumors (n=81,115), 70.8% underwent minimally invasive hysterectomy. The rates of minimally invasive surgery in those women with nonendometrioid tumors (n=13,392) was 57.6% for serous carcinomas, 57.0% for clear cell tumors, 47.3% for sarcomas, 32.2% for leiomyosarcomas, 47.9% for stromal sarcomas, and 48.5% for carcinosarcomas. Performance of minimally invasive surgery increased across all histologic subtypes between 2010 and 2014. For nonendometrioid subtypes, robotic-assisted procedures accounted for 47.9-75.7% of minimally invasive hysterectomies by 2014. In a multivariable model, women with nonendometrioid tumors were less likely to undergo minimally invasive surgery than those with endometrioid tumors (P<.05). There was no association between route of surgery and 30-day, 90-day, or overall mortality rates for any of the nonendometrioid histologic subtypes. CONCLUSION The use of minimally invasive surgery is increasing rapidly for women with stage I-III nonendometrioid uterine tumors. Performance of minimally invasive surgery does not appear to impact survival adversely.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite strong evidence demonstrating the clinical and economic benefits of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), utilization of MIS in the Medicare population is highly variable and tends to be lower than in the general population. We sought to compare the post-operative and economic outcomes of MIS versus open surgery for seven common surgical procedures in the Medicare population. METHODS Using the 2014 Medicare Provider Analysis and Review Inpatient Limited Data Set, patients undergoing bariatric, cholecystectomy, colectomy, hysterectomy, inguinal hernia, thoracic, and ventral hernia procedures were identified using DRG and ICD-9 codes. Adjusting for patient demographics and comorbidities, the odds of complication and all-cause 30-day re-admission were compared among patients undergoing MIS versus open surgery stratified by operation type. A generalized linear model was used to calculate the estimated difference in length of stay (LOS), Medicare claim cost, and Medicare reimbursement. RESULTS Among 233,984 patients, 102,729 patients underwent an open procedure versus 131,255 who underwent an MIS procedure. The incidence of complication after MIS was lower for 5 out of the 7 procedures examined (OR 0.36-0.69). Re-admission was lower for MIS for 6 out of 7 procedures (OR 0.43-0.87). MIS was associated with shorter LOS for 6 procedures (point estimate range 0.35-2.47 days shorter). Medicare claim costs for MIS were lower for 4 (range $3010.23-$4832.74 less per procedure) and Medicare reimbursements were lower for 3 (range $841.10-$939.69 less per procedure). CONCLUSIONS MIS benefited Medicare patients undergoing a range of surgical procedures. MIS was associated with fewer complications and re-admissions as well as shorter LOS and lower Medicare costs and reimbursements versus open surgery. MIS may represent a better quality and cost proposition in the Medicare population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine patterns of referral to gynecologic oncologists and perioperative outcomes based on surgeon specialty for women with endometrial cancer and hyperplasia. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was used to perform a retrospective cohort study of women with endometrial cancer and hyperplasia who underwent hysterectomy from 2014 to 2015. Patients were stratified based on treatment by a gynecologic oncologist or other health care provider. Patterns of referral to a gynecologic oncologist was the primary outcome, and mode of hysterectomy and complications were secondary outcomes. RESULTS A total of 6,510 women were identified. Gynecologic oncologists performed 90.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 90.1-91.7) of the hysterectomies for endometrial cancer, 66.8% (95% CI 63.1-70.4) for complex atypical endometrial hyperplasia, and 49.3% (95% CI 44.7-53.8) for endometrial hyperplasia without atypia. Older women and those with a higher American Society of Anesthesiology score were more likely to be treated by an oncologist. Minimally invasive hysterectomy was performed in 73.6% (95% CI 72.1-75.1) of women with endometrial cancer operated on by gynecologic oncologists compared with 73.8% (95% CI 68.8-78.2) of those treated by other physicians (odds ratio [OR] 0.99, 95% CI 0.80-1.23); lymphadenectomy was performed in 56.3% of women treated by gynecologic oncologists compared with 34.8% of those treated by other specialists (OR 2.42, 95% CI 1.99-2.94). Severe complications were uncommon and there was no difference in complication rates based on specialty, 2.6% (95% CI 2.2-3.1) compared with 2.0% (95% CI 0.8-3.3). CONCLUSION Gynecologic oncologists provide care for the majority of women with endometrial cancer who undergo hysterectomy in the United States and are also involved in the care of a large percentage of women with endometrial hyperplasia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hysterectomy is among the most common major surgical procedures performed in women. Approximately 450,000 hysterectomy procedures are performed each year in the United States for benign indications. However, little is known regarding contemporary US hysterectomy trends for women with benign disease with respect to operative technique and perioperative complications, and the association between these 2 factors with patient, surgeon, and hospital characteristics. OBJECTIVE We sought to describe contemporary hysterectomy trends and explore associations between patient, surgeon, and hospital characteristics with surgical approach and perioperative complications. STUDY DESIGN Hysterectomies performed for benign indications by general gynecologists from July 2012 through September 2014 were analyzed in the all-payer Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission database. We excluded hysterectomies performed by gynecologic oncologists, reproductive endocrinologists, and female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgeons. We included both open hysterectomies and those performed by minimally invasive surgery, which included vaginal hysterectomies. Perioperative complications were defined using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality patient safety indicators. Surgeon hysterectomy volume during the 2-year study period was analyzed (0-5 cases annually = very low, 6-10 = low, 11-20 = medium, and ≥21 = high). We utilized logistic regression and negative binomial regression to identify patient, surgeon, and hospital characteristics associated with minimally invasive surgery utilization and perioperative complications, respectively. RESULTS A total of 5660 hospitalizations were identified during the study period. Most patients (61.5%) had an open hysterectomy; 38.5% underwent a minimally invasive surgery procedure (25.1% robotic, 46.6% laparoscopic, 28.3% vaginal). Most surgeons (68.2%) were very low- or low-volume surgeons. Factors associated with a lower likelihood of undergoing minimally invasive surgery included older patient age (reference 45-64 years; 20-44 years: adjusted odds ratio, 1.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-1.28), black race (reference white; adjusted odds ratio, 0.70; 95% confidence interval, 0.63-0.78), Hispanic ethnicity (adjusted odds ratio, 0.62; 95% confidence interval, 0.48-0.80), smaller hospital (reference large; small: adjusted odds ratio, 0.26; 95% confidence interval, 0.15-0.45; medium: adjusted odds ratio, 0.87; 95% confidence interval, 0.79-0.96), medium hospital hysterectomy volume (reference ≥200 hysterectomies; 100-200: adjusted odds ratio, 0.78; 95% confidence interval, 0.71-0.87), and medium vs high surgeon volume (reference high; medium: adjusted odds ratio, 0.87; 95% confidence interval, 0.78-0.97). Complications occurred in 25.8% of open and 8.2% of minimally invasive hysterectomies (P < .0001). Minimally invasive hysterectomy (adjusted odds ratio, 0.22; 95% confidence interval, 0.17-0.27) and large hysterectomy volume hospitals (reference ≥200 hysterectomies; 1-100: adjusted odds ratio, 2.26; 95% confidence interval, 1.60-3.20; 101-200: adjusted odds ratio, 1.63; 95% confidence interval, 1.23-2.16) were associated with fewer complications, while patient payer, including Medicare (reference private; adjusted odds ratio, 1.86; 95% confidence interval, 1.33-2.61), Medicaid (adjusted odds ratio, 1.63; 95% confidence interval, 1.30-2.04), and self-pay status (adjusted odds ratio, 2.41; 95% confidence interval, 1.40-4.12), and very-low and low surgeon hysterectomy volume (reference ≥21 cases; 1-5 cases: adjusted odds ratio, 1.73; 95% confidence interval, 1.22-2.47; 6-10 cases: adjusted odds ratio, 1.60; 95% confidence interval, 1.11-2.23) were associated with perioperative complications. CONCLUSION Use of minimally invasive hysterectomy for benign indications remains variable, with most patients undergoing open, more morbid procedures. Older and black patients and smaller hospitals are associated with open hysterectomy. Patient race and payer status, hysterectomy approach, and surgeon volume were associated with perioperative complications. Hysterectomies performed for benign indications by high-volume surgeons or by minimally invasive techniques may represent an opportunity to reduce preventable harm.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite the potential benefits of minimally invasive hysterectomy for uterine cancer, population-level data describing the procedure's safety in unselected patients are lacking. We examined the use of minimally invasive surgery and the association between the route of the procedure and long-term survival. METHODS We used the SEER-Medicare database to identify women with stage I-III uterine cancer who underwent hysterectomy from 2006 to 2011. Patients who underwent abdominal hysterectomy were compared with those who had minimally invasive hysterectomy (laparoscopic and robot-assisted). Perioperative morbidity, use of adjuvant therapy, and long-term survival were examined after propensity score balancing. RESULTS We identified 6,304 patients, including 4,139 (65.7%) who underwent abdominal hysterectomy and 2,165 (34.3%) who underwent minimally invasive hysterectomy; performance of minimally invasive hysterectomy increased from 9.3% in 2006 to 61.7% in 2011. Robot-assisted procedures accounted for 62.3% of the minimally invasive operations. Compared with women who underwent abdominal hysterectomy, minimally invasive hysterectomy was associated with a lower overall complication rate (22.7% v 39.7%; P < .001), and lower perioperative mortality (0.6% v 1.1%), but these women were more likely to receive adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy (34.3% v 31.3%) and brachytherapy (33.6% v 31.0%; P < .05). The complication rate was higher after robot-assisted hysterectomy compared with laparoscopic hysterectomy (23.7% v 19.5%; P = .03). There was no association between the use of minimally invasive hysterectomy and either overall (HR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.75 to 1.04) or cancer-specific (HR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.59 to 1.16) mortality. CONCLUSION Minimally invasive hysterectomy does not appear to compromise long-term survival for women with endometrial cancer.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate adverse events associated with electromechanical morcellation as reported to the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of an established database (Canadian Task Force classification III). INTERVENTION A search of the MAUDE database for terms associated with commercially available electromechanical morcellation devices was undertaken for events leading to injury or death between 2004 and 2014. Data, including the types of injury, need for conversion to open surgery, type of open surgery, and clinical outcomes, were extracted from the records. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Over a 10-year period, 9 events associated with death and 215 events associated with patient injury or significant delay of the surgical procedure were recorded. These involved 137 device failures, 51 organ injuries, and the morcellation of 27 previously undiagnosed malignancies. Of the 9 deaths, 1 was associated with organ injury, and the other 8 were associated with morcellation of cancer. Of the 27 undiagnosed cancers, 5 were reported by the manufacturer, 8 were reported by the patient or family, 9 were reported by medical or news reports, 2 were reported by medical professionals, and 3 were due to litigation. Morcellation of an undiagnosed malignancy was first reported to the database in December 2013. CONCLUSIONS The MAUDE database appears to detect perioperative events, such as device failures and organ injury at the time of surgery, but appears to be poor at detecting late events after surgery, such as the potential spread of cancer. Outcome registries are likely a more efficient means of tracking potential long-term adverse events associated with surgical devices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To perform a population-based analysis to compare the complications and cost of laparoscopic and robotically assisted adnexal surgery. METHODS A nationwide database was used to analyze the use and outcomes of robotically assisted adnexal surgery from 2009 to 2012. Multivariable mixed effects regression models were developed to examine predictors of use of robotic surgery. After propensity score matching, complications and cost were compared between robotically assisted and laparoscopic surgery. RESULTS Eighty-seven thousand five hundred fourteen women were identified. From 2009 to 2012, performance of robotic-assisted oophorectomy increased from 3.5% (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.2-3.8%) to 15.0% (95% CI 14.4-15.6%), whereas robotically assisted cystectomy rose from 2.4% (95% CI 2.0-2.7%) to 12.9% (95% CI 12.2-13.5%). The overall complication rate was 7.1% (95% CI 4.0-10.2%) for robotically assisted compared with 6.0% (95% CI 2.9-9.1%) for laparoscopic oophorectomy (odds ratio [OR] 1.20, 95% CI 1.00-1.45; P=.052). Robotic-assisted oophorectomy was associated with a higher rate of intraoperative complications (3.4% compared with 2.1%, OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.21-2.13). The overall complication rate was 3.7% (95% CI -0.8 to 8.2%) after robotically assisted compared with 2.7% (95% CI -1.8 to 7.2%) for laparoscopic cystectomy (OR 1.38, 95% CI 0.95-1.99). The intraoperative complication rate was higher for robotically assisted cystectomy (2.0% compared with 0.9%, OR 2.40, 95% CI 1.31-4.38). Compared with laparoscopy, robotically assisted oophorectomy was associated with $2,504 (95% CI $2,356-2,652) increased total costs and robotically assisted cystectomy $3,310 (95% CI $3,082-3,581) higher costs. CONCLUSION Use of robotically assisted adnexal surgery increased rapidly. Compared with laparoscopic surgery, robotically assisted adnexal surgery is associated with substantially greater costs and a small, but statistically significant, increase in intraoperative complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the use of inpatient hysterectomy and explore changes in the use of various routes of hysterectomy and patterns of referral. METHODS The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was used to identify all women aged 18 years or older who underwent inpatient hysterectomy between 1998 and 2010. Weighted estimates of national trends were calculated and the number of procedures performed estimated. Trends in hospital volume and across hospital characteristics were examined. RESULTS After weighting, we identified a total 7,438,452 women who underwent inpatient hysterectomy between 1998 and 2010. The number of hysterectomies performed annually rose from 543,812 in 1998 to a peak of 681,234 in 2002; it then declined consistently annually and reached 433,621 cases in 2010. Overall, 247,973 (36.4%) fewer hysterectomies were performed in 2010 compared with 2002. From 2002 to 2010 the number of hysterectomies performed for each of the following indications declined: leiomyoma (-47.6%), abnormal bleeding (-28.9%), benign ovarian mass (-63.1%), endometriosis (-65.3%), and pelvic organ prolapse (-39.4%). The median hospital case volume decreased from 83 procedures per year in 2002 to 50 cases per year in 2010 (P<.001). CONCLUSION The number of inpatient hysterectomies performed in the United States has declined substantially over the past decade. The median number of hysterectomies per hospital has declined likewise by more than 40%. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Uptake and outcomes of intensity-modulated radiation therapy for uterine cancer. Gynecol Oncol 2013; 130:43-8. [PMID: 23500087 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2013.03.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2012] [Revised: 03/02/2013] [Accepted: 03/06/2013] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE While intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) allows more precise radiation planning, the technology is substantially more costly than conformal radiation and, to date, the benefits of IMRT for uterine cancer are not well defined. We examined the use of IMRT and its effect on late toxicity for uterine cancer. METHODS Women with uterine cancer treated from 2001 to 2007 and registered in the SEER-Medicare database were examined. We investigated the extent and predictors of IMRT administration. The incidence of acute and late-radiation toxicities was compared for IMRT and conformal radiation. RESULTS We identified a total of 3555 patients including 328 (9.2%) who received IMRT. Use of IMRT increased rapidly and reached 23.2% by 2007. In a multivariable model, residence in the western U.S. and receipt of chemotherapy were associated with receipt of IMRT. Women who received IMRT had a higher rate of bowel obstruction (rate ratio=1.41; 95% CI, 1.03-1.93), but other late gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicities as well as hip fracture rates were similar between the cohorts. After accounting for other characteristics, the cost of IMRT was $14,706 (95% CI, $12,073 to $17,339) greater than conformal radiation. CONCLUSION The use of IMRT for uterine cancer is increasing rapidly. IMRT was not associated with a reduction in radiation toxicity, but was more costly.
