Surgery for adrenal disease: Standard vs. robotic-assisted approach
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for removing an adrenal gland: laparoscopic (small incisions, using a camera) and robot-assisted (using a robotic arm). It aims to see which approach may be better for recovery and safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have been told by your doctor that you need surgery to remove one adrenal gland.
- You must be willing to sign a form saying you agree to be in the study.
- You cannot need surgery on both adrenal glands at the same time.
- The adrenal tumor must be smaller than 12 cm (about 4.7 inches).
- The tumor should not appear to be a dangerous cancer that is growing into nearby tissues or blood vessels.
