Robotic vs laparoscopic surgery for right-sided colon cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with colon cancer (adenocarcinoma) in the right side of your colon, such as the cecum, ascending colon, or hepatic flexure.
- Your cancer is stage I to III, meaning it has not spread to distant organs.
- You have not had previous colon surgery (except for small procedures like ESD or EMR) or major abdominal surgery (except for gallbladder or appendix removal).
- You are generally healthy (ECOG score of 0-2, ASA score I-III), and not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had chemotherapy, radiation, or other cancer treatments before surgery, and you do not have other active cancers or serious health conditions like heart or kidney failure.

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.
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 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 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 trial compares two surgical techniques for removing the right side of the colon when cancer is present. The goal is to see if one method leads to better recovery and long-term outcomes, which could help you and others in the future.
This trial is testing a standard way to do right-sided colon removal surgery using keyhole techniques. The goal is to make the surgery more consistent and improve recovery for people with early-stage colon cancer.
