Same-day discharge after robotic colon surgery: is it safe?
Part of 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 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 trial tests whether it is safe and effective to recover at home right after keyhole colorectal surgery, instead of staying in the hospital. It is for people who are stable, have little bleeding, and have enough support at home.
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 looks at what happens right after minimally invasive colon/rectal surgery when people leave the operating room. It may help improve recovery plans and safety for patients like you.
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.
