Robotic surgery for right colon removal
This trial tests a new robotic surgery system called DEXTER for removing the right side of the colon (right colectomy) in adults with colon cancer. It may offer a less invasive option with potentially faster recovery.

This trial is studying how the type and method of surgery for right-sided colon cancer affects the quality of the removed tissue. It aims to improve surgical techniques for this type of cancer.
This trial tests whether robotic surgery is effective for treating right colon cancer. It is for adults who are eligible for robotic surgery and whose cancer has not spread beyond the colon.
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 two types of surgery to remove the right side of the colon for early-stage colon cancer: one using a robot and one using standard laparoscopy (keyhole surgery). It aims to see which approach has fewer technical errors during the operation.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for right colon cancer (robotic vs. laparoscopic). It aims to see which approach may be better for recovery and outcomes.
This study compares the short- and long-term results of two types of minimally invasive surgery for right colon cancer: robotic (Da Vinci) and laparoscopic (keyhole). It aims to see which approach may lead to better recovery and outcomes for patients.
