Perioperative outcomes of the first five cases of surgeries for endometrial endometrioid cancer using the new integrated table motion for da Vinci Xi(R)

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate feasibility of integrated table motion (ITM), comparing perioperative outcomes of patients with diagnosed endometrial endometrioid cancer who underwent total robotic hysterectomies (TRHs) and case-related staging procedures with and without ITM. Methods Five patients underwent surgery with da Vinci Xi system and ITM technology. ITM feasibility, efficacy and safety was compared with a second group of 56 patients, reduced to 10 with propensity score method, who underwent same procedures with da Vinci Xi System without ITM system. Results We report safety of robotic surgery with new ITM even in a preliminary experience of oncologic procedures. No significance in any analysed data between groups TRH with ITM and TRH without ITM are described. Conclusion This preliminary study demonstrated the feasibility of ITM in performing da Vinci Xi TRH even in the first cases of surgery for malignancy such as early stage endometrial endometrioid cancer.
