Robot-assisted bladder removal surgery study
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Pain clinical trials.
This study is for people who are scheduled to have their bladder removed (radical cystectomy). It looks at whether using a robot helps with blood loss, pain, and the need for blood transfusions during and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for bladder removal surgery (radical cystectomy)
- You do not have a severe, life-threatening health condition (ASA class V)
- You do not have a known bleeding disorder

This study tests a patient-centered coaching and preparation program before bladder surgery (cystectomy) to help you get ready for surgery and recovery. It may be especially helpful for people having urinary diversion using an ileal conduit or ileal neobladder.
This trial follows adults who are planning to have a robotic radical cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder and surrounding tissue) to learn what outcomes to expect. If you choose to join and meet the basics, it may help your team compare results and improve care for future patients.
This trial looks at how patients recover after radical cystectomy, a surgery that removes the bladder for bladder cancer. It will study recovery patterns to help understand what recovery may look like and possibly improve care.
This trial compares robot-assisted surgery to open surgery for people with gallbladder cancer that has been found after a gallbladder removal. The goal is to see which approach is better for the radical removal of remaining cancer.
This trial tests a new robotic system to remove bladder tumors in one piece (en-bloc resection) for people with early-stage, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. It may offer a more precise surgical option for eligible patients.
This study looks at whether removing nearby lymph nodes during radical cystectomy (bladder removal) improves outcomes for people with high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help doctors choose the best surgical approach to reduce the chance of cancer coming back.
