Robotic vs. laparoscopic surgery for right colon cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study compares the outcomes of two minimally invasive surgery techniques for right colon cancer: robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery. It aims to see which approach has better short-term and long-term results, which can help patients and doctors choose the best treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery for right colon cancer using either robotic or laparoscopic technique.
- Your surgery was a radical right hemicolectomy, meaning the cancer and nearby lymph nodes were removed.
- Your cancer was confirmed as adenocarcinoma in the right colon, and it had not spread to distant organs.
- You did not receive chemotherapy or radiation before your surgery.
- You have not had another cancer in the past 5 years, except for certain early-stage skin or cervical cancers.
- You are not severely obese (BMI over 35) and do not have conditions that would make anesthesia unsafe.

This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for middle and low rectal cancer: robot-assisted (using a machine) and laparoscopic (using small incisions). The goal is to see which approach offers better outcomes for patients like you.
This trial compares the effectiveness of robotic surgery to traditional laparoscopic surgery for treating right colon cancer. It aims to see if robotic surgery leads to better outcomes and faster recovery.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for right-sided colon cancer: robotic-assisted and laparoscopic. The goal is to see which approach causes fewer technical errors during the operation. If you are scheduled for surgery, this study may help improve outcomes.
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 study looks at a newer, robot-assisted surgical approach to remove part of the right colon completely when colon cancer is suspected or confirmed. It may help by aiming for more complete tumor removal while tracking safety and outcomes.
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.
