Stanford program to speed up robotic surgery for children
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a faster, robotic-assisted surgery for children ages 6 to 21. It aims to see if completing part of the operation using a robot can be as safe and effective as traditional open surgery, possibly leading to quicker recovery and less pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 6 and 21 years old and weigh at least 33 pounds (15 kilograms)
- You have a medical condition that can be treated with a robotic surgery procedure that your surgeon recommends
- You have never had surgery with a robotic device before
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow the study plan
- You are not pregnant and do not have a bleeding disorder or severe mental illness that would interfere with the study

This study tests a new robotic system to perform a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and possibly remove the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or lymph nodes, if needed. It aims to see if this robotic approach is safe and effective for patients who are already candidates for laparoscopic surgery.
This study tests a new robotic system for doing keyhole surgery on children's bellies and chests. The goal is to see if it's safe and works well for operations that need small cuts instead of large ones.
This trial tests a new robotic system that uses only one small incision for common childhood abdominal surgeries. It might mean less pain and faster recovery for your child.
This study is testing a new robotic system for several types of abdominal surgeries. Depending on your diagnosis, you may qualify for a specific part of this trial that looks at how well this robot can help with your operation.
This study looks at how well robotic-assisted surgery works for children having digestive, urinary, gynecologic, or chest surgery. It aims to understand the results and safety of this type of surgery in a children's hospital.
This trial studies how well and how efficiently robotic surgery works in both children and adults who need a procedure where robotic surgery is appropriate. It may help surgeons plan safer, smoother operations and improve operating-room efficiency.
