Abstract:
Gynecologic malignancies represent a major public health challenge in Mexico, remaining among the principal causes of morbidity and mortality in women. Endometrial carcinoma constitutes one of the most frequent neoplasms, with its staging and management requiring a surgical approach in accordance with contemporary international standards. A descriptive report was conducted on the first patient treated with robot-assisted surgery for endometrial cancer at the Oncology Hospital. Preoperative assessment included standard imaging and clinical staging to confirm that the disease was confined to the uterus. The surgical procedure consisted of total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy performed via robotic technique. Robot-assisted surgery represents a safe and feasible option for the management of early-stage endometrial carcinoma, offering advantages in terms of surgical precision, recovery time, and postoperative morbidity. This initial experience supports its incorporation as part of the comprehensive oncologic management within specialized centers.
