• Research summary

  The aim of this study is to investigate patient recovery after surgery for gynaecological cancer. Patients will complete health-related quality-of-life questionnaires following open, Key hole (laparoscopic) and robotic surgery. In addition they will complete a walking test. These investigations will be administered before the operation and at fortnightly intervals in the six weeks following the operation. The theory being tested is that patients undergoing robotic surgery will have a better rate of recovery compared to the other surgical approaches.
