A propensity-matched algorithm was used to compare outcomes of minimally invasive staging with open surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study included 45 propensity-matched pairs (90 patients): 45 underwent minimally invasive staging with minilaparotomic specimen retrieval and 45 underwent open staging. Patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery plus trans-abdominal specimen retrieval experienced longer median operative time (95 vs. 85 minutes; p=0.0017), lower blood loss (50 vs. 100 ml; p&lt;0.001), and shorter length of hospital stay (3 vs. 5 days; p&lt;0.001) in comparison to patients undergoing open surgery. No intraoperative complication occurred. No intraoperative transfusions were administered in both cohorts. No statistically significant differences in complications rates were registered between groups (p=0.266). No differences in term of disease-free (p=0.833, log-rank test) and overall (p=0.723, log-rank test) survival was noted between groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Transabdominal specimen retrieval does not reduce the benefits of minimally invasive staging in endometrial cancer with large uteri or utero-vaginal disproportion.
