Purpose of this Study
We are doing this study to compare 2 different procedures for treating cervical cancer and find out which approach has the best outcomes for patients. The two procedures that we will compare are open surgery with a single large incision (laparotomy) and robotic assisted laparoscopy (small incision surgery). We do not know which option is preferable in most cases, and we hope this study can help us find out which procedure is the better choice for patients.
