This study presents local data aimed at informing shared decision-making for women undergoing radical hysterectomy. The randomized controlled trial compares laparoscopic and open surgery, assessing cost-effectiveness, quality of life improvement, and survival rates. Patient testimonials highlight the benefits of each method. Inclusion criteria, surgical factors, post-operative outcomes, and survival rates are meticulously detailed. Recommendations for future practice are also provided.

Why? • LACC data presented • Consensus to inform women about to undergo a radical hysterectomy of unpublished trial findings • Informed consent • Montgomery ruling • Women want to know why we are recommending a particular treatment • Can provide local data to help inform shared decision making
Randomised Controlled Trial Vs Retrospective Cohort • Randomly assign participants to control group (open surgery) or intervention group (minimal access surgery) • Gold standard of evidence based medicine • Minimise bias • Control for confounding factors • Observational • Middle of the hierarchy of evidence • Useful to inform clinical practice
LACC Hypothesis • Minimal access surgery is cost effective, improves QoL and pelvic floor function with equivalent overall survival to open surgery • Decreased treatment related morbidity (8%) • Shorter hospital stay • Less post op pain • Reduced analgesic consumption • Equivalence measured by disease free survival(DFS) within 7.2% of open DFS rate
Laparoscopic Radical Hysterectomy “I'm 5 weeks post op now and feel great. I'm starting back to work next week. My incision sites are still a little sore” “I wanted to say that I felt keyhole surgery was right option for me as the recovery time is quicker and this was important for me as a single parent of 3 kids and limited family support” https://www.jostrust.org.uk/forum
Open Abdominal Hysterectomy “It's taken 4 months to start to feel ok-ish” “I'd say for anyone having the abdominal surgery....this is a hard recovery but it does get better, from speaking to people having had this op it does take a couple of months more than keyhole to get to the milestones they give you. Take it steady!” https://www.jostrust.org.uk/forum
Inclusion criteria • FIGO stage • 1a1 with LVSI • 1a2 • 1b1 • Histological subtype • Adenocarcinoma • Squamous cell carcinoma • Adenosquamous carcinoma • Tumour size < 4cm
Post op chemoradiotherapy • LACC criteria - LVSI / tumour size / stromal invasion
Surgery Vs. Chemoradiotherapy “I went on to have chemo-rads anyway and have been cancer-free ever since, but it is my firm belief that the outcome would have been the same without the unnecessary loss of body parts. …………But in all honesty, I could have done without losing the top 50% of my vagina”
