Robot-assisted surgery for pancreatic tumors
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how safe and effective robot-assisted surgery is for removing tumors in the pancreas or nearby bile ducts. It aims to help people who are eligible for this type of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

This study compares two different surgery methods for removing tumors in the pancreas area. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective for patients who are eligible for surgery.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery called laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy to remove certain cancers in the pancreas, bile duct, or nearby areas. It may help patients whose cancer has not spread and can be fully removed with surgery.
This trial compares two types of surgery for removing the head of the pancreas: robotic-assisted surgery versus traditional open surgery. It aims to see which approach may be better for recovery.
This trial compares robot-assisted surgery with standard keyhole surgery to remove growths on the left side of the pancreas. It may help doctors determine which method is safer and more effective for non-cancerous or pre-cancerous conditions.
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.
This study compares robot-assisted vs. open surgery for treating chronic pancreatitis pain. It aims to see which approach works better for people with a dilated pancreatic duct who need relief from severe symptoms.
