Comparing robotic vs. laparoscopic right colon surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older
- You have right colon cancer that is stage T1, T2, or T3 and has not spread to other parts of your body
- You are scheduled for a minimally invasive (robotic or laparoscopic) surgery to remove the right side of your colon
- You are not having emergency surgery, and you have not had a previous open abdominal surgery
- You do not have inflammatory bowel disease, hereditary colorectal cancer, or are pregnant
- You do not need any other organ or extra bowel removed at the same time

This trial compares two ways to remove left-sided colon cancer and take the specimen out through the anus (without a large external incision). It may help find which approach is safer and more effective for curing Stage I–III disease.
This study looks at a newer, robot-assisted surgical approach to remove part of the right colon completely when colon cancer is suspected or confirmed. It may help by aiming for more complete tumor removal while tracking safety and outcomes.
This trial compares two types of surgery for right colon cancer: laparoscopic (small incisions with a camera) and open (a larger cut). The goal is to see which approach works better for removing the cancer and nearby lymph nodes.
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.
This study compares two types of surgery to remove the right side of the colon for early-stage colon cancer: one using a robot and one using standard laparoscopy (keyhole surgery). It aims to see which approach has fewer technical errors during the operation.
This trial tests whether robotic surgery is effective for treating right colon cancer. It is for adults who are eligible for robotic surgery and whose cancer has not spread beyond the colon.
