Conclusions:. robotic radical hysterectomy results in inferior survival as compared to laparotomy.
. robotic radical hysterectomy for early cervical cancer<2 cm results in similar survival as laparotomy.
. patients with previous conization, i.e. absence of exposed cancer cells in the cervix, have similar survival as laparotomy

. intraperitoneal recurrences are not seen with laparotomy and appear due to the exfoliation and seeding of cervical cancer cells.
