Same-day discharge after robotic colon surgery: is it safe?
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether it is safe for patients to go home the same day after robotic colon surgery. If you are healthy enough and have help at home, you may be able to recover there instead of staying in the hospital overnight.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are scheduled for a robotic-assisted colon surgery (right colectomy, sigmoid colectomy, or low anterior resection).
- You can do moderate activity (like walking quickly or carrying groceries) without getting short of breath.
- You have a family member or friend who can stay with you for at least the first week after surgery.
- You have access to a phone or computer and running water at home.
- You are not currently taking strong blood thinners (like warfarin, Eliquis, or Xarelto) and do not smoke.

This trial tests if it's safe and beneficial to go home the same day after robotic hysterectomy, compared to staying overnight. It includes women with both benign conditions and endometrial cancer, regardless of weight or uterus size.
This study tests whether a same-day surgery approach for colorectal cancer is safe and effective. It uses small incisions and special pain management to help you recover faster at home with a caregiver nearby.
This study tests whether it's safe and beneficial for patients to leave the hospital sooner after planned colorectal surgery. It aims to see if early discharge can help you recover at home with proper support.
This study compares how quickly and how well people recover after surgery to remove part of the colon or rectum, using either a robotic or a laparoscopic (keyhole) approach. Both are minimally invasive, but this trial aims to see if one leads to a smoother and faster recovery.
This trial tests whether patients can safely recover at home instead of staying in the hospital after colorectal surgery. If you qualify, you'll receive care at home, which may help you feel more comfortable and recover faster.
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.
