Robot-assisted scope removal for colorectal growths
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a robot-assisted scope procedure can safely and effectively remove early-stage colorectal growths (polyps or early cancers). If you have such a growth and are eligible, this approach may offer a less invasive way to remove it compared to traditional surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 85 years old.
- You must have a colorectal growth (polyp or early cancer) that has been confirmed by a biopsy and is scheduled for removal with an endoscope.
- The growth must be in an early stage – not too deep or spread to lymph nodes – so that endoscopic removal is appropriate.
- You should not have serious health conditions that make anesthesia or surgery unsafe.
- You should not have had prior surgery or radiation for colorectal cancer that changed the structure of your colon or rectum.
- The growth should not be one that has come back after a previous endoscopic removal.

This study tests a new robot-assisted tool to remove early-stage stomach cancer or precancerous cells through a scope (endoscope) without open surgery. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at removing the abnormal tissue completely.
This study compares a new robot-assisted endoscope with the traditional method for removing hard-to-remove colorectal growths. The goal is to see if the robot helps make the removal safer and more complete.
This study tests a robot-assisted colonoscopy system to screen for, monitor, or diagnose conditions in the lower intestine. It may be an option for adults who need a regular colonoscopy.
This trial tests a new technique called RDI mode, which may help doctors remove early-stage tumors from the esophagus, stomach, or colon more safely. If you have a small early tumor or polyp, this study could help determine if the new method works better and has fewer complications.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove the right side of your colon for cancer: one done with the help of a robot, and the other done with a laparoscope (a long, thin tube with a camera). The goal is to see if one method leads to better recovery or outcomes.
This trial tests a new robotic system to remove large, flat growths in the lower part of the rectum that are too big for standard removal. The goal is to remove the growth completely in one piece, which may help avoid more invasive surgery.
