Testing single-port robot surgery for colorectal conditions
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 or older (male or female).
- You have a colorectal diagnosis that your care team plans to treat with a robotic operation.
- If you need a transanal procedure (through the anus), your rectal/anal tumor or growth must meet specific early-stage limits (for example, not beyond 15 cm from the anus) and be of certain types.
- You’re generally healthy enough for surgery and can follow the study plan, including coming for follow-up.
- You can understand the study and sign written consent.
- If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, you can’t join; if you can get pregnant, you must use reliable birth control (or confirm you can’t become pregnant) before and during the study.

This trial tests a new robotic surgery system for common operations on the colon, rectum, prostate, kidney, bladder, stomach, esophagus, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia. It may offer a less invasive option for patients who need surgery for these conditions.
This study tests a new robotic device that helps doctors perform colonoscopies (exams of the large intestine) for routine screening or follow-up. The robot may make the procedure more comfortable and precise.
This study tests a robot-assisted colonoscopy system to screen for, monitor, or diagnose conditions in the lower intestine. It may be an option for adults who need a regular colonoscopy.
This trial compares two types of robotic surgery for rectal cancer to see if they are equally safe and effective. It helps patients understand which approach might be better for their recovery and outcomes.
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).
This study tests a remote surgery program where doctors use technology to perform or assist robotic surgery from a distance. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for patients like you.
