Robot-assisted emergency abdominal surgery study
This study is testing whether robot-assisted surgery is safe and effective for certain emergency abdominal conditions, such as severe gallbladder infections, bowel blockages, or injuries. It may be an option if you need surgery for one of these problems and are stable enough for the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an emergency gallbladder infection with signs that surgery will be difficult
- You have a blocked bowel that needs surgery and shows damage on a CT scan
- You have severe diverticulitis with a hole in the bowel and infection in the belly
- You have a stab or gunshot wound to the belly, but your blood pressure is stable
- You need part of your colon removed for reasons other than minor infection
- You need your spleen removed and your blood pressure is stable or the spleen bleeding was controlled

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 study looks back at records of adults who had emergency appendix surgery (robotic or laparoscopic) for acute appendicitis. It aims to compare outcomes of different surgical approaches to help doctors choose the best option.
This trial uses a robotic system to assist surgeons during chest and belly surgeries. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for procedures like hernia repair, gallbladder removal, or hysterectomy.
This study looks at emergency abdominal surgeries in Saudi Arabia to understand how patients recover and what factors affect their outcomes. If you had an urgent operation on your stomach or intestines, this trial may help improve care for others like you.
This study compares surgery performed by a surgeon in the same room versus surgery performed by a surgeon from a different location using a robot. It is for people having robot-assisted surgery on the liver, gallbladder, or pancreas.
This study looks at whether robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (a major operation to remove part of the pancreas and nearby ducts) is safe and effective for people with certain tumors in the pancreas head and nearby areas. If you qualify, your surgery approach and outcomes will be closely tracked to see how well this robotic method works.
