Robotic vs. open surgery for thyroid cancer that has spread
This study compares a robotic surgery method using small incisions under the armpit with standard open surgery for papillary thyroid cancer that has spread to lymph nodes on one side of the neck. It aims to see which approach is better for removing cancer and recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07332806Recruiting
When to remove the breathing tube after robot surgery
This study looks at whether removing the breathing tube in the operating room versus the recovery room affects how quickly the operating room is ready for the next surgery. If you are having robot-assisted surgery with general anesthesia, you may be able to join.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07427043RecruitingPhase 3
Opioid-free pain plan for robotic prostate surgery
This trial tests a pain management strategy that avoids opioids during and after robotic prostate surgery. It aims to reduce opioid use and side effects while keeping you comfortable.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 45 years+ - NCT06587152Enrolling by invitation
Robotic surgical system trial for chest and belly surgeries
This trial uses a robotic system to assist surgeons during chest and belly surgeries. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for procedures like hernia repair, gallbladder removal, or hysterectomy.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT07362342Recruiting
Right heart function after lung lobe removal surgery
This study looks at how the right side of the heart handles the stress of having a lung lobe removed. It compares different surgery types (VATS, robotic, or open) and focuses on people with moderate to high heart and lung risk factors.
Rozzano, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06224218Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for enlarged prostate
This trial compares two types of surgery for men with an enlarged prostate (BPH) whose symptoms haven't improved with medication. The goal is to see which procedure works better.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–88 - NCT06671639Recruiting
Stanford program to speed up robotic surgery for children
This trial tests a faster, robotic-assisted surgery for children ages 6 to 21. It aims to see if completing part of the operation using a robot can be as safe and effective as traditional open surgery, possibly leading to quicker recovery and less pain.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 6–21 - NCT07651553Recruiting
Transanal vs. Robotic Surgery for Rectal Cancer
This trial compares two surgical approaches to remove rectal cancer while preserving bowel function. Researchers want to see which method—performed through the anus or with robotic assistance—leads to better outcomes and quality of life.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07468409Recruiting
JASPER Robotic System for Cataract Surgery
This trial is testing a new robotic system called JASPER to help perform cataract surgery. It looks at how well and safely the robot assists during the operation, which may help improve precision and recovery.
Makati City, National Capital RegionAges 55–80 - NCT06738654Recruiting
Robotic breast-conserving surgery through the armpit for early-stage breast cancer
This trial tests a new robotic technique for removing early-stage breast cancer through the armpit, leaving no scar on the chest. It may be an option for women who want to keep their breast shape and avoid visible scarring.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06858761Recruiting
Robot-assisted weight loss surgery: cost and results study
This study looks at whether using a robot during weight loss surgery is worth the cost. It compares outcomes for people having their first bariatric surgery or a repeat surgery for complications.
BordeauxAges 18–70 - NCT06353672Recruiting
Robotic liver tumor removal safety study
This study is testing how safe and doable it is to use a robot to remove liver tumors. It may help researchers find a better way to perform liver surgery with fewer complications.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT06545409Recruiting
Nerve block for pain relief in robotic thymus surgery
This trial tests a nerve block to reduce pain after robotic thymus surgery. It may help patients with thymus growths or cysts have less pain and use fewer painkillers after their operation.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06824688Recruiting
Comparing robotic surgery types for rectal cancer
This trial compares two robotic surgery methods for rectal cancer: using one small incision (single-port) versus several small incisions (multi-port). The goal is to see which approach offers better outcomes while preserving the sphincter (the muscle that controls bowel movements).
ChongqingAges 18 years+ - NCT05848609Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for robot surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 122 recruiting robot surgery studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a robot surgery trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a robot surgery trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
