This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether robotic-assisted surgery is as safe and effective as traditional open surgery for removing the uterus and surrounding tissue in women with early-stage cervical cancer. You would be randomly assigned to receive either robotic-assisted hysterectomy (using a surgical robot) or traditional open abdominal surgery. Both approaches aim to remove the cancer completely while preserving your health and quality of life.
Traditional open surgery for cervical cancer has been the standard for many years, but robotic surgery is less invasive and may lead to shorter recovery times and less pain. This trial will help doctors determine whether the robotic approach works just as well as traditional open surgery for treating early-stage cervical cancer.

If you qualify and enroll, you will be randomly assigned to receive either robotic-assisted surgery or traditional open surgery to remove your uterus, cervix, and surrounding tissue. The surgical procedure itself will take place at a participating medical center, and your surgeon will carefully inspect the abdomen for any signs that the cancer has spread before proceeding. After surgery, you will be followed up regularly to monitor your recovery and check for cancer recurrence.
