Robot vs standard keyhole gallbladder surgery for non-cancerous disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is comparing two types of keyhole surgery for removing the gallbladder: one done with a robot and the other with standard laparoscopic tools. The goal is to find out which technique leads to a better recovery and fewer complications for people with non-cancerous gallbladder problems like gallstones or polyps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older
- You have gallbladder polyps or symptomatic gallstones confirmed by scan (like ultrasound or CT)
- Your doctor feels you can have a minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery
- You do not have an acute gallbladder infection (cholecystitis) or known bile duct stones
- You are not pregnant and you have not been told you have severe liver disease (cirrhosis stage III or IV)

This study is testing a robot-assisted system (Versius) for gallbladder removal surgery. It's looking at how well the system works in everyday hospital use.
This trial compares two different methods for removing the gallbladder during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. It aims to see if one method causes fewer problems or is easier for patients like you.
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 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 trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove stomach cancer that has grown into the stomach wall but has not spread. The goal is to see if using a robot gives better recovery and results than standard laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
This study compares two ways of removing the whole stomach for stomach cancer that is in the middle or upper part and can be operated on. One method uses a robot, the other uses standard keyhole surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
