Laparoscopy vs. Robotic Surgery for Endometriosis (LAROSE): a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial
Open accessAbstract
Objective To determine whether the use of the robot for surgical treatment of endometriosis is better than traditional laparoscopy in terms of operative length, perioperative parameters, and quality of life outcomes. Design Multicenter, randomized clinical trial. Setting University teaching hospitals. Patient(s) Women aged >18 years with suspected endometriosis who elected to undergo surgical management. Intervention(s) Randomization to conventional or robot-assisted laparoscopic removal of endometriosis. Main outcome measure(s) The primary outcome measured was operative time. Secondary outcomes were perioperative complications and quality of life. Result(s) The mean operative time for robotic vs. laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis was 106.6 ± 48.4 minutes vs. 101.6 ± 63.2 minutes. There were no differences in blood loss, intraoperative or postoperative complications, or rates of conversion to laparotomy in the two arms. Both groups reported significant improvement on condition-specific quality of life outcomes at 6 weeks and 6 months. Conclusion(s) There were no differences in perioperative outcomes between robotic and conventional laparoscopy. Clinical trial registration number NCT01556204.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
