Robot vs. laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares robot-assisted surgery to standard laparoscopic surgery for people with stage Ib, II, or III stomach cancer. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways of removing the whole stomach for stomach cancer that is in the middle or upper part and can be operated on. One method uses a robot, the other uses standard keyhole surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
This trial compares two types of robotic surgery to remove stomach cancer. It aims to see which method is better for recovery and outcomes. If you have stomach cancer that can be removed with surgery, this study may help you.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove part of the stomach in people with early-stage stomach cancer. One uses a robotic system with small cuts, and the other uses traditional keyhole surgery, to see which leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
This study tests two ways of using robotic tools during stomach cancer surgery: one where the surgeon controls all instruments from a console, and another where a human assistant operates some tools. It aims to see which method works better for patients having the lower part of the stomach removed.
This trial tests a special navigation system to help surgeons perform robot-assisted stomach cancer surgery. It aims to make the surgery more precise and safe.
This trial compares two ways surgeons remove the entire stomach (total gastrectomy): laparoscopic (small keyhole cuts) versus open surgery (one larger cut). It’s testing which approach is safer and works better for people with certain stages of stomach cancer.
