Although larger tumor size approached significance in the multivariable analysis, it was not a significant predictor (HR 1.44, 95% CI 0.96–2.15, P = 0.08).

Although both OS and RFS showed a trend favoring the laparoscopic group, these differences did not reach statistical significance (OS: P = 0.174; HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.55–1.11; RFS: P = 0.166; HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.56–1.11). 65.3% of patients in the LG group and 71.1% of patients in the OG group experienced recurrence ( P = 0.472) (Table 3 and Supplementary Table S5).
