Summary

This trial is comparing two methods of treatment for cervical cancer to see which one is more effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with early-stage cervical cancer (specific types like adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma) who are fit for surgery and have no evidence of widespread cancer. They must be able to consent, have a uterus size suitable for vaginal delivery of the specimen, and an ECOG performance status of 0-1.
What is being tested?
The study compares robotic-assisted laparoscopy using da Vinci technology versus traditional open radical hysterectomy in treating early-stage cervical cancer. It aims to see which method offers better survival rates.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include pain at the surgical site, infection risk, bleeding complications, possible damage to nearby organs or tissues during surgery, and general risks associated with anesthesia.
