We are aiming to understand patients’ and carers’ views on the use of robotic-assisted microsurgery in cancer-related reconstructive surgery and lymphatic surgery.
Robotic assistance is increasingly being used in different areas of surgery. Before developing services or future research studies in this area, we would like to understand what patients and the public already know about robotic-assisted surgery, how they feel about it, and what information they would want before considering it as part of their care.
We are particularly interested in hearing what matters most to patients when new robotic -surgical technologies are introduced. This includes understanding potential concerns, expectations, information needs, and views on taking part in future research.
Feedback from this work will help us develop patient information, shape future research questions, and ensure that any future studies are designed around patient needs. It will also help us understand whether views differ between different types of surgery, such as major reconstructive surgery and surgery for lymphoedema.
We would like to hear from patients, carers and members of the public, including people with experience of breast reconstruction, lymphoedema, melanoma, sarcoma, head and neck cancer, or other cancer-related surgery.
If you would like to join a patient advisory group please email [email protected]. This group will meet every 3 months, mostly online, and provide ongoing input into the development of robotic microsurgery services and research.

We are interested in your views on robotic-assisted surgery. Your answers will help us understand what patients and the public already know, what information they would want, and what concerns or expectations they may have. There are no right or wrong answers.

We would like to hear from patients, carers and members of the public, including people with experience of breast reconstruction, lymphoedema, melanoma, sarcoma, head and neck cancer, or other cancer-related surgery.
We are particularly keen to hear from people whose views are often less represented, including those who may have had difficult recoveries from cancer and surgery, people who decided not to have reconstructive breast surgery, older patients, people from different ethnic backgrounds, and people who may find it harder to understand medical information, use online forms, or attend hospital appointments.
