This study is comparing two types of surgery for early stage cervical cancer: robotic-assisted laparoscopy and open hysterectomy. A hysterectomy is when the uterus is removed. In robotic-assisted surgery, doctors use robotic tools to help them operate. In open surgery, doctors make a larger cut to remove the uterus. The goal is to see if robotic surgery is as good as open surgery in helping patients live without cancer coming back.

Key points:

• This study is for patients 18 and older with certain types and stages of cervical cancer.
• Patients will be randomly chosen to have either robotic or open surgery.
• Participants must agree to several tests, like MRI and pregnancy tests, and follow-up visits.

Patients cannot join if their cancer is not the type or stage required, or if they have had previous pelvic radiation. The study aims to ensure safe and thorough treatment, and doctors will document everything during surgery. If they find that cancer has spread too much, the surgery may not happen. This helps ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
