This study compares different pain-relief medications given during lung surgery to see which one controls pain better. It may help people have less post-surgery pain after robotic wedge resection or lobectomy.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18–90 - NCT07489963Recruiting
Does keeping the posterior cruciate ligament help after knee replacement?
This trial compares two ways of doing robotic-assisted knee replacement: one that keeps the posterior cruciate ligament (a natural knee stabilizer) and one that doesn't. Researchers will see if saving the ligament leads to better knee function a year after surgery.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT07304479Recruiting
Comparing two anesthetics for robotic surgery
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (sevoflurane and desflurane) during robotic abdominal surgery. It aims to find which one may be safer and better for your lungs.
AthensAges 18–87 - NCT05805436RecruitingPhase 4
Laxatives before robotic prostate or kidney surgery
This trial tests whether giving a laxative before certain robotic urologic surgeries improves bowel function after surgery. It may help reduce constipation and related discomfort during recovery.
Iowa City, IowaAges 30–100 - NCT05842538Recruiting
Robotic surgery for total knee replacement in arthritis
This trial studies whether robotic-assisted surgery can improve or standardize outcomes for people getting a total knee replacement for severe arthritis. It may help by using a robot to assist during the knee operation, but you must meet specific knee and health criteria.
GothenburgAges 18–80 - NCT06445179Recruiting
Robotic surgery for adenomyosis and endometriosis
This trial tests robotic-assisted surgery to remove the uterus (hysterectomy) and all endometriosis lesions in people with both adenomyosis and deep endometriosis. It's for those who haven't found relief from medical treatments and are ready for surgery.
Aix-en-ProvenceAges 18 years+ - NCT06720883Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for bile duct cancer
This study tests whether robot-assisted surgery is safe and effective for people with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (a type of bile duct cancer). It may be a good fit for patients whose cancer has not spread and who are healthy enough for major surgery.
PadovaAges 18 years+ - NCT06881043Recruiting
Robotic surgery tool for advanced stomach cancer
This trial tests a robotic surgical tool that seals blood vessels in advanced stomach cancer. It aims to see if the tool works safely and effectively during robot-assisted surgery.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT05652361Recruiting
AI guidance system for robotic rectal cancer surgery
This trial tests a machine-learning (AI) system that may help guide surgeons during robotic rectal cancer operations. It’s meant to support safer, more accurate surgery while comparing outcomes to standard surgical guidance.
Dresden, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT05600569Recruiting
Thoracic surgery registry study in Spain
This is a registry (a secure log) that collects information about patients who undergo thoracic (chest) surgery. It helps researchers understand what surgeries are being done and may improve planning and care over time.
ZaragozaAges Any age - NCT06945640Enrolling by invitation
Testing a 3D imaging system for robot kidney surgery
This study tests a new 3D imaging system (RUS NE) to help surgeons perform robot-assisted partial nephrectomy more safely and effectively. If you have a small to medium-sized kidney tumor and are already scheduled for this surgery, the researchers want to compare your outcomes to people who had the standard procedure.
SeoulAges 20–80 - NCT07346066RecruitingPhase 3
A trial of IS-001 injection for robotic colorectal surgery
This trial tests an injection called IS-001 during robotic-assisted colorectal surgery. It may help surgeons see the ureters more clearly, which could reduce the risk of injury.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 16–75 - NCT07329140Recruiting
Robotic-assisted urological surgery outcomes study
This study looks at how well robotic-assisted surgery works for urological conditions. It may help doctors understand the benefits and risks of this type of surgery.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05351229RecruitingPhase 4
Spinal morphine for pain control after lung surgery
This trial tests whether putting morphine into the spinal area during lung surgery can reduce pain after surgery for people having certain minimally invasive lung operations. It aims to improve comfort and possibly reduce the need for other pain medicines.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT05662371Recruiting
Testing pain-monitor guided pain medicine during robot bowel surgery
This study checks whether using a pain-activity monitor during robot-assisted colorectal surgery can help the surgical team choose the right pain medicine. It may improve comfort and reduce the chance of giving too much or too little pain medicine.
AabenraaAges 18–80 - NCT07431892Recruiting
Pain after robotic vs. laparoscopic colon cancer surgery
This study compares pain levels after two types of minimally invasive colon cancer surgery: robotic and laparoscopic. It aims to see if one approach leads to less pain, which may help you recover more comfortably.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06791538Recruiting
Robotic vs. laparoscopic surgery for advanced stomach cancer
This trial compares robotic-assisted surgery to standard laparoscopic surgery for locally advanced stomach cancer. It aims to see which approach offers better outcomes and recovery for patients.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06425016Recruiting
Robot-assisted vs. traditional sleeve gastrectomy
This study compares two types of weight-loss surgery: one done with the help of a robot and the other done by hand (laparoscopic). Both are types of sleeve gastrectomy, where the stomach is reduced in size. If you qualify for sleeve gastrectomy, this trial may help doctors learn which method works better.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–70 - NCT04831580Recruiting
Robotic vs open hysterectomy for early cervix cancer
This trial compares robotic surgery to open (traditional) surgery for women with early-stage cervix cancer. The goal is to see which approach is safer and works better for cancer control and recovery.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05321134Recruiting
Testing single-port robot surgery for colorectal conditions
This study checks how well a newer single-opening (single-port) robot works for colorectal surgery. It may help surgeons perform operations with the robotic system in carefully selected colorectal conditions.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05155501Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for robotic surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 120 recruiting robotic 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 robotic 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 robotic 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.
