Long-Term Oncological Outcomes of Laparoscopic Versus Open Radical Surgery in Early-Stage Cervical Cancer: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To assess the oncological outcomes of laparoscopic versus open radical hysterectomy (RH) in patients with early-stage cervical cancer using propensity score-matched analysis. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 1244 patients who underwent RH with pelvic lymphadenectomy at Chiang Mai University Hospital between 2003 and 2019. Of these, 82 patients received a laparoscopic approach (LAP) and 1162 underwent open radical hysterectomy. Propensity-score matching was performed in a 1:4 ratio using a caliper of 0.2 standard deviations to achieve balance between groups. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier curves and the log-rank test. Subgroup analysis was conducted based on tumor size (≤ 2 cm vs. > 2 cm
