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 trial compares two minimally invasive surgeries for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer: robotic-assisted (RATS) versus video-assisted (VATS). It aims to see which approach is better for removing a lobe or part of a lobe, focusing on recovery and safety.
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 trial compares two types of robot-assisted lung surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. One method uses a fully robotic setup, and the other involves the surgeon helping with part of the procedure. The goal is to see which approach works better for patients.
This study tests a robot that helps doctors freeze lung tumors using a CT scanner. It is for people with lung cancer who cannot have surgery and may benefit from a less invasive freezing treatment.
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.
This trial tests a new robotic system (SHURUI Single-Port) to perform chest surgery through a single small cut. It may be an option for people who need surgery for early-stage lung cancer, limited lung tumors, or a mass in the middle of the chest.
