Robotic surgery for lymphedema (Symani System)
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This trial uses a robotic arm called Symani to help surgeons perform more precise microsurgery (working on tiny blood vessels and lymph channels). It is for adults with moderate lymphedema in one arm or leg who have already tried standard lymphedema therapy and still have swelling.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 to 75 years old.
- You have swelling in one arm or leg that doesn't go away fully with rest or compression.
- Your lymphedema is mild to moderate (stage I or II) and affects only one limb.
- You have completed at least 12 weeks of a standard lymphedema treatment (complete decongestive therapy) and wear compression garments consistently.
- You are not currently on chemotherapy or radiation, and you do not have active infections, bleeding problems, or certain other health conditions.

This study tests a robotic system (Symani) to help surgeons perform very precise microsurgery, either to reconnect tiny blood vessels during a free flap procedure or to treat lymphedema (chronic swelling). It may help people with lymphedema who have not gotten full relief from compression therapy.
This study looks at how well the Symani robotic system works for connecting tiny blood vessels or lymph vessels during surgery. It may help people who need a free flap transfer or lymphedema surgery.
This trial tests a new robotic-assisted surgery to reconnect tiny lymph vessels in people with head and neck swelling. It may help reduce the swelling and improve daily life.
This trial tests a robotic surgical technique to reconnect tiny lymph vessels and reduce arm swelling (lymphedema) in women who had breast cancer treatment. It may help if your swelling is still in the early stages.
This trial tests a superfine surgery called lymphaticovenous anastomosis to connect tiny lymph vessels to veins, aiming to prevent arm swelling (lymphedema) that often occurs after lymph node removal and radiation. It is for women with breast cancer who are scheduled for lymph node surgery and radiation therapy.
This trial looks at a combined approach to treat chronic lymphedema (long-term arm swelling) after breast cancer treatment. Doctors will use different surgical techniques, alone or together, to see which works best.
