Testing robotic surgery for children and adults needing operations
This trial studies how well and how efficiently robotic surgery works in both children and adults who need a procedure where robotic surgery is appropriate. It may help surgeons plan safer, smoother operations and improve operating-room efficiency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are either a child or an adult who needs surgery that could be done with robotic tools
- A surgeon has determined that your type of operation is suitable for robotic surgery
- If you are a minor, a parent or guardian can agree to the surgery (no refusal)
- You do not have anatomy-related or anesthesia-related reasons that make minimally invasive/robotic surgery unsafe for you
- You are willing to have the team proceed if you (or your parent/guardian) do not object

This study looks at ways to improve how surgeons perform during robot-assisted surgeries. If you are a surgeon who does robotic procedures, joining this study could help make surgery safer and more effective.
This trial tests a robotic training program for newer surgeons. It may help surgeons learn robotic procedures more effectively.
This trial tests a new robotic system that uses only one small incision for common childhood abdominal surgeries. It might mean less pain and faster recovery for your child.
This trial studies a specific robotic surgical system during abdominal and pelvic surgeries. It may help doctors improve how these operations are done using minimally invasive techniques (smaller cuts).
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.
This trial tests a new robotic surgical tool designed to perform minimally invasive (small-cut) chest and abdominal surgery in children. The goal is to check if it is safe and works well for procedures that normally require laparoscopic (camera-guided) surgery.
