Robot vs camera surgery for right colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove the right side of your colon for cancer: one done with the help of a robot, and the other done with a laparoscope (a long, thin tube with a camera). The goal is to see if one method leads to better recovery or outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult scheduled for a planned (not emergency) minimally invasive removal of the right side of your colon due to cancer.
- The cancer must be early or medium stage (not grown through the colon wall deeply and not spread to distant organs).
- You must not have hereditary colon cancer or inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis).
- You cannot have any other organs removed at the same time or other planned surgeries.
- You must not have had open abdominal surgery in the past.
- You need to be able to provide informed consent and not be pregnant.

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 tests a new robotic system that allows surgeons to perform laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery from a remote location. It may help people having certain cancer or other surgeries in the chest and belly area, and could make surgery less invasive.
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 minimally invasive surgery for right-sided colon cancer: robotic-assisted and laparoscopic. The goal is to see which approach causes fewer technical errors during the operation. If you are scheduled for surgery, this study may help improve outcomes.
This study compares the outcomes of two minimally invasive surgery techniques for right colon cancer: robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery. It aims to see which approach has better short-term and long-term results, which can help patients and doctors choose the best treatment.
This trial compares the effectiveness of robotic surgery to traditional laparoscopic surgery for treating right colon cancer. It aims to see if robotic surgery leads to better outcomes and faster recovery.
