Robot-assisted brain surgery study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a robot can help surgeons perform precise endoscopic procedures in the brain or pituitary area. It may be an option for people who need a ventriculostomy or surgery for a pituitary growth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a condition that requires a ventriculostomy (draining fluid from the brain) OR a growth in or near the pituitary gland that needs surgery through the nose.
- You can safely have an MRI or CT scan (no metal implants or devices that are not compatible).
- You do not have severe claustrophobia (fear of tight spaces).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are able to make your own medical decisions.

This trial tests a new, less invasive surgery using a robot to help guide the doctor to drain blood from a brainstem bleed. It may be an option for people who can have surgery soon after the bleed and who have a certain level of consciousness.
This trial tests a minimally invasive robot-assisted surgery to remove bleeding inside the brain's fluid-filled spaces, which can happen after a stroke or injury. It aims to improve recovery by clearing the blood and reducing pressure on the brain.
This trial tests a new, less invasive brain surgery using a robotic arm guided by artificial intelligence (AI) to remove a large blood clot caused by a hemorrhagic stroke in the basal ganglia. It may be an option for people who can have surgery soon after the stroke and were previously independent.
This study tests a new robot-assisted system to perform chest surgeries, such as removing lung tumors. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for people who need these procedures.
This trial uses a robot to assist with brain blood vessel treatments, like checking for blockages, treating tumors, or removing clots. It may help make these procedures more precise and safer.
This study looks at ways to improve how surgeons perform during robot-assisted surgeries. If you are a surgeon who does robotic procedures, joining this study could help make surgery safer and more effective.
