Comparing carbon footprint of robotic, laparoscopic, and open colorectal surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study measures the environmental impact (carbon footprint) of different surgical techniques for removing part of the colon or rectum. It aims to find which approach is more sustainable without compromising patient care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for elective (non-emergency) colorectal surgery that involves removing a section of your colon or rectum.
- Your surgery is planned as robotic-assisted, laparoscopic (keyhole), or open surgery.
- You will receive general anesthesia during the procedure.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- Your physical health status is classified as ASA I, II, or III (generally healthy to mild-to-moderate systemic disease).

This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery—robotic and laparoscopic—for people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) who need elective colon or rectal surgery. It aims to find out which approach might be better for recovery and outcomes.
This study checks how well a newer single-opening (single-port) robot works for colorectal surgery. It may help surgeons perform operations with the robotic system in carefully selected colorectal conditions.
This study compares the short- and long-term results of two types of minimally invasive surgery for right colon cancer: robotic (Da Vinci) and laparoscopic (keyhole). It aims to see which approach may lead to better recovery and outcomes for patients.
This study compares pain levels after two types of minimally invasive colon cancer surgery: robotic and laparoscopic. It aims to see if one approach leads to less pain, which may help you recover more comfortably.
This trial studies a low-impact approach to colon or upper-rectum surgery using small cameras (laparoscopy) to see if it works well and is safe. You may be eligible if you are scheduled for a specific type of colon/rectal operation and can safely be monitored during the study.
