Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18 years) with histologically confirmed endometrial carcinoma who are medically fit for minimally invasive surgery (ECOG 0–1) and scheduled for robotic surgical staging who can provide informed consent are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with recurrent or synchronous tumors, those requiring additional extra‑genital procedures, those with anesthetic contraindications to minimally invasive surgery, or those unable to complete regular follow‑up are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, multicenter observational project that will consecutively enroll patients with endometrial cancer who undergo robotic staging using the da Vinci SP platform. Procedures include hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo‑oophorectomy (with ovarian preservation allowed in selected cases) and possible sentinel lymph node biopsy or pelvic/para‑aortic lymphadenectomy as clinically indicated. The study will record perioperative metrics such as operative time, blood loss, conversion rates, complications, and early oncologic and recovery outcomes. No experimental treatment is assigned; data will be collected to document feasibility, safety, and early performance of the single‑port robotic approach.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could offer a less invasive single‑incision option that may reduce pain, shorten recovery time, and improve cosmetic outcomes compared with multiport techniques.

How similar studies have gone: Multiport laparoscopic and robotic approaches have established safety and outcomes in endometrial cancer, while single‑port robotic platforms like da Vinci SP are newer and have shown promising but still limited feasibility data.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Age ≥ 18 years
* Histologically confirmed endometrial carcinoma (including uterine carcinosarcoma)
* Performance status (ECOG) 0 - 1
* Patients undergoing staging surgery for endometrial cancer, including but not limited to robotic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (ovarian preservation in selected patients is not an exclusion criterion) and possible sentinel lymph node biopsy/pelvic ± para-aortic lymphadenectomy
* Signed informed consent to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients scheduled for an additional extra-genital surgical procedure during the staging surgery for endometrial carcinoma
* Patients with anesthesiological contraindications to a minimally invasive approach
* Synchronous tumor
* Recurrence of endometrial carcinoma
* Dementia or significantly altered mental status that may impair understanding and the ability to provide informed consent
* Any reason that may interfere with regular follow-up, even if limited to the first 30 days post-surgery
