Robotic liver tumor removal safety study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is testing how safe and doable it is to use a robot to remove liver tumors. It may help researchers find a better way to perform liver surgery with fewer complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a liver tumor (a growth in your liver).
- You are having robotic-assisted surgery to remove the tumor (a robotic liver resection).
- You are not having surgery for cancer in another organ (like the colon or rectum) at the same time, unless it is just your gallbladder being removed.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This trial compares robotic surgery and video-assisted surgery for removing part of the lung (lobectomy or segmentectomy). It may help determine which approach is safer or works better for patients who can safely tolerate minimally invasive surgery.
This trial uses a robotic system to assist surgeons during chest and belly surgeries. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for procedures like hernia repair, gallbladder removal, or hysterectomy.
This trial tests the safety of using a robot to remove small stomach tumors (GISTs) that are in hard-to-reach places. It aims to see if robotic surgery is a good option for you.
This study compares surgery performed by a surgeon in the same room versus surgery performed by a surgeon from a different location using a robot. It is for people having robot-assisted surgery on the liver, gallbladder, or pancreas.
This study looks at different ways doctors cut and seal the liver during keyhole surgery. It aims to find the safest and most cost-effective method for removing liver tumors or other growths.
This study tests whether augmented reality—a technology that overlays digital images onto the surgeon's view—can help surgeons safely remove small liver tumors. You would receive standard surgery, but the surgeon would use AR guidance to locate and remove your tumor more precisely.
