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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of liver surgery: one that removes a part of the liver through a small cut (laparoscopic, or keyhole) and one that uses a remote approach (likely robotic or distant technique). The goal is to see which is safer and more effective for patients who need liver surgery.
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 compares two types of robotic surgery for rectal cancer to see if they are equally safe and effective. It helps patients understand which approach might be better for their recovery and outcomes.
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 trial tests a new robotic system that allows surgeons to perform laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery from a remote location. It may help people having certain cancer or other surgeries in the chest and belly area, and could make surgery less invasive.
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.
