Postoperative C-Reactive Protein as a Marker of the Early Inflammatory Response in Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Minimally Invasive Surgery for Endometrial Cancer: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis

Background/Objectives: Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) for endometrial cancer achieves outcomes comparable to those of conventional laparoscopy (Lap) but often requires a longer operative time, which may increase the early postoperative inflammatory response. We compared the postoperative day 1 (POD1) C-reactive protein (CRP) elevation between RALS and Lap and examined whether it was associated with the surgical platform or with patient- and procedure-related factors.
