Testing a new single-port robot for lung surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies a new surgical robot that uses only one small opening in the chest to remove a lung segment or lobe. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for patients who need this type of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You need surgery to remove part of your lung
- You are healthy enough for general anesthesia (ASA class I-III)
- You are willing to come for follow-up visits and tests
- You have not had chest surgery before or another cancer that would make this unsafe

This study compares two types of minimally invasive lung surgery for early-stage lung cancer. One method uses a robotic arm, the other uses a small camera and long instruments through small cuts. The goal is to see which one gives better results for removing the cancer.
This trial tests whether robotic-assisted surgery for lung cancer is safe and effective in elderly patients. It may be a good option if you are older and able to undergo surgery.
This study compares two different robotic surgery methods for removing early-stage lung cancer. If you are scheduled for robotic surgery, this trial will help doctors learn if a fully robotic approach is better than one where the surgeon assists the robot.
This study tests a new way to freeze and destroy small lung tumors using a robotic tube that goes through your mouth into your lungs, guided by 5G remote technology. It is for people who cannot or choose not to have surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, and want a less invasive option.
This trial tests a special imaging tool that helps surgeons see lung cancer tissue during surgery, so they can remove it more completely. It may help people having surgery to remove a lung tumor.
This trial tests a new way to help surgeons find the right boundary between lung segments during surgery, using oxygen levels to guide them. It may help patients with small, early-stage lung tumors.
