Robotic surgery in the NHS: a review of outcomes
This study looks at how well the Versius robotic system works for different surgeries in the NHS. It aims to see if robotic surgery is safe and effective, which might help improve future treatments.
LondonAges Any age - NCT06487481RecruitingPhase 1
Radiation before surgery for recurrent adrenal cancer
This trial tests whether giving radiation before surgery helps people with adrenal cancer that has come back after previous treatment. It aims to see if this approach can improve outcomes for patients who can have surgery at the NIH.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07650656RecruitingPhase 2
Fluorescence-Guided Surgery to Improve Sarcoma Tumor Removal
This trial tests a special dye and imaging technique to help surgeons see and remove sarcoma tumors more completely. The goal is to reduce the chance that cancer cells are accidentally left behind during surgery.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07876232Recruiting
Surgery options for repeat shoulder dislocations
This study compares different surgical techniques to fix a shoulder that keeps dislocating forward. It aims to find the best approach to stabilize the joint and reduce future dislocations.
RigaAges 18–50 - NCT07678372Recruiting
Ozoaqua for abdominal scar healing after surgery
This trial tests whether Ozoaqua, a special treatment, helps heal abdominal scars better than standard care after open surgery. It may reduce scarring and improve how the scar looks and feels.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 18 years+ - NCT07718802Recruiting
Watching vs surgery for kidney stones in children
This study compares simply watching a kidney stone over time versus having surgery to remove it, in children and teens who have a small, symptom-free stone. The goal is to see which approach leads to better health outcomes.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 6 years+ - NCT06307548RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Image-guided surgery and light therapy for colorectal cancer
This trial tests a special dye that helps surgeons see tumors more clearly during surgery, followed by a light therapy to destroy any remaining cancer cells. It is for people with advanced or returning colorectal cancer who are already scheduled for surgery.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT01898416RecruitingPhase 2
5-ALA by mouth to reduce regrowth of desmoid tumors
This Phase 2 trial tests whether taking a medicine called 5-ALA by mouth after treatment can lower how often desmoid tumors come back in the same area. If you have a desmoid tumor that can be removed and you meet safety criteria, this study may help determine whether 5-ALA is effective and safe for you.
Tel Aviv, IsraelAges 18 years+ - NCT02871336Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer surgery patient database study
This study collects information from adults who have surgery for pancreatic cancer. It may help researchers better understand outcomes and improve future care.
Marseille, Bouches du RhoneAges 18 years+ - NCT03600662Recruiting
Heart valve reconstruction using your own tissue
This trial studies a surgery to repair the aortic valve using tissue taken from your body. It may help people with significant valve problems, by testing whether this reconstruction approach works and is safe.
Munich, BavariaAges 50 years+ - NCT03200964Recruiting
Follow-up after weight-loss surgery at one hospital
This trial looks at how people do after weight-loss (bariatric) surgery when they receive their care at the same hospital. It may help the hospital improve follow-up plans for patients after these procedures.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT04187261Recruiting
Audit of surgical care for hip fractures
This trial is an audit, meaning researchers review existing hospital records to understand what happens after hip fractures are treated with surgery. It may help improve how hip fracture care is documented and delivered at their hospital.
Karachi, SindhAges 1–100 - NCT04527705Recruiting
Testing endodontic retreatment in one versus two visits
This study compares doing tooth root-canal retreatment in one visit versus two visits. It’s meant to see which approach leads to better outcomes for teeth with infection at the root tip (apical periodontitis).
Sant Cugat del Vallès, BarcelonaAges 18–75 - NCT04973579Recruiting
Stent plus heart surgery for high risk carotid patients
This trial looks at whether doing carotid artery stenting at the same time as heart surgery is safe and effective for people at high risk of stroke around the time of surgery. It targets people with significant carotid narrowing who also need heart surgery for specific heart problems.
KrakowAges 18 years+ - NCT04637711Recruiting
Surgery for stubborn granulomatous breast inflammation
This study looks at surgical treatment for granulomatous lobular mastitis that has not been improving with non-surgical care. It may help people with more widespread or complicated breast inflammation, especially when there are abscesses or skin breakdown.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,180 recruiting surgical 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 surgical 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 surgical 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.
