Robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for left-sided diverticulitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares robotic surgery versus laparoscopic surgery to remove part of the bowel for left-sided diverticulitis. It may help show which approach is safer or leads to better recovery for people needing elective or delayed-urgency surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 18 years
- Your surgery is planned (elective) or can wait a bit (delayed urgency)
- Your diverticulitis affects the left side of the colon
- Your operation must be fully minimally invasive (either robotic or laparoscopic)
- Your surgery must not be done as an urgent/emergency operation

This trial tests a new minimally invasive surgery called the NICE procedure for treating benign left-sided colon diseases like diverticulitis or benign polyps. It aims to see if this approach leads to fewer infections and better recovery compared to standard surgery.
This study tests a tool to help doctors decide whether to reconnect the colon or create a temporary opening (colostomy) during emergency surgery for severe diverticulitis. The goal is to improve patient outcomes by supporting better surgical decisions.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery—robotic and laparoscopic—for people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) who need elective colon or rectal surgery. It aims to find out which approach might be better for recovery and outcomes.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for right colon cancer (robotic vs. laparoscopic). It aims to see which approach may be better for recovery and outcomes.
This trial tests a new robotic surgery system called DEXTER for removing the right side of the colon (right colectomy) in adults with colon cancer. It may offer a less invasive option with potentially faster recovery.
This study compares the short- and long-term results of two types of minimally invasive surgery for right colon cancer: robotic (Da Vinci) and laparoscopic (keyhole). It aims to see which approach may lead to better recovery and outcomes for patients.
