This trial is testing whether a lung-strengthening breathing technique called alveolar recruitment can help obese patients recover better after major gynecological cancer surgery. All participants will receive protective breathing support during surgery, but half will also receive the special recruitment technique. The goal is to see if this extra technique reduces breathing complications after surgery.
During major abdominal surgery for gynecological cancers, the way the body is positioned and the surgery itself can stress the lungs, especially in patients with obesity. Doctors want to know if this specialized breathing technique can prevent lung problems after surgery and help patients recover faster.

You would be admitted to the hospital for your scheduled gynecological cancer surgery. During surgery, your anesthesia team would manage your breathing with a ventilator using protective lung strategies. Depending on which group you're randomly assigned to, you may receive an additional special breathing technique where air pressure is gradually increased in your lungs for a few minutes. After surgery, doctors would monitor you for any breathing problems and track your recovery, including how long you stay in the hospital.
