OBJECTIVE We sought to compare surgical and survival outcomes of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) vs open radical hysterectomy (ORH) in elderly patients with early-stage cervical cancer. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on elderly patients (≥65 years) who underwent either LRH (n = 99) or ORH (n = 159) due to stage IA2-IIA2 cervical cancer. RESULTS One patient (1%) in LRH group required conversion to laparotomy. Operating time (P = .035), estimated blood loss (P = .002), recovery of bowel movement (P < .001), and postoperative hospital stay (P < .001) were significantly shorter or lower in LRH group. Postoperative complications were significantly less frequent in LRH group (P = .026). After the median follow-up time of 45 months, the 5-year disease-free survival (95% vs 93%, P = .350) and overall survival (96% vs 95%, P = .361) did not differ between LRH and ORH groups. CONCLUSIONS Elderly patients tolerated well both LRH and ORH. LRH was associated with better surgical outcomes compared to ORH without increasing intraoperative complications or decreasing survival.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
