The type of surgery you have will depend on the type and stage of your cancer. The procedure may involve removing part or all of the affected organ – such as the uterus, cervix, ovaries or vulva – along with some of the surrounding tissue or lymph nodes. 

We know that no two patients are the same, which is why we offer fully personalised care, and discuss all aspects of your treatment with you to make sure you’re completely comfortable with it.

Having surgery to remove cancer can significantly improve outcomes, especially when detected early. In many cases, it gives patients the best chance of a cure or long-term control of the disease. Even in more advanced cases, surgery can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. 

In some cases, surgery is the only treatment required. In others, it may be part of a wider treatment plan that includes chemotherapy, radiotherapy or hormone treatment. 

Whatever your individual circumstances, we’ll make sure you’re fully informed and supported at every stage of your care.

Often, but not always. Some cancers respond better to other treatments first. 

We’ll consider your diagnosis carefully and recommend the most effective and appropriate treatment plan for you.

Everyone’s experience after surgery is different, and can depend on a whole range of factors, such as the type of surgery and the patient’s overall health. 

We’ll work with you to design a clear recovery plan, including pain relief, follow-up appointments and advice on returning to everyday activities.
