This is a pilot study to determine if pulmonary function (lung compliance and ventilation/perfusion matching) is improved using APRV during general anesthesia, compared to the standard CMV. APRV will be tested during anesthesia in 12 patients undergoing robotic-assisted gynecological or genitourinary surgical procedures for definitive cancer treatment, who will also receive CMV.

Optimal intra-operative ventilatory settings - Inspiratory Pressure
Determination of the optimal intra-operative ventilatory settings for inspiratory pressure, expiratory pressure, inspiratory-expiratory time ratio and inspired oxygen concentration, that result in the best possible measured pulmonary function (i.e., compliance and gas exchange).
Time frame: At surgery
