Robotic surgery for gastrointestinal and urologic conditions
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new robotic surgery system for common operations on the colon, rectum, prostate, kidney, bladder, stomach, esophagus, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia. It may offer a less invasive option for patients who need surgery for these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a condition that can be treated with minimally invasive surgery (using small incisions).
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be under 35.
- You must be willing to give informed consent to participate.
- You should not have an active infection, bleeding disorder, or another cancer that has spread.
- You should not need emergency surgery or be pregnant or mentally disabled.
- Your specific condition (like colon cancer, prostate cancer, or hernia) must match one of the procedure types listed.

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 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 trial tests a new robotic system for removing colon or rectal tumors. It aims to make surgery less invasive, which may lead to less pain and faster recovery.
This trial tests a robotic-assisted endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) to remove early-stage tumors from the stomach, colon, or rectum without major surgery. It aims to see if this new robotic method is safe and effective.
This trial compares two surgical approaches to remove rectal cancer while preserving bowel function. Researchers want to see which method—performed through the anus or with robotic assistance—leads to better outcomes and quality of life.
This study checks whether a specific robotic operation (proximal gastrectomy using a double-flap technique) is safe and feasible for early stomach cancer located near the top of the stomach. It may help patients by testing a surgical approach designed to remove the cancer while managing reconstruction and recovery.
