Robotic surgery for emergency abdominal procedures
This study tests using robotic surgery for emergency operations on the belly. It aims to see if robotic tools can make these urgent procedures safer or more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need an emergency abdominal surgery (not planned ahead of time).
- Your condition must be one of: inflamed gallbladder with signs of a difficult operation, blocked bowel that needs removal, complicated diverticulitis with a perforation, a penetrating belly injury, removal of part or all of the colon, or removal of the spleen.
- You must be stable enough for surgery (no severe shock).
- You cannot have simple appendicitis or a simple gallbladder removal without complications.

This trial compares different surgical techniques—open, laparoscopic (keyhole), and robotic—for emergency abdominal surgery. By joining, you may help doctors learn which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes for patients like you.
This trial tests a new robotic system that allows surgeons to perform laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery from a remote location. It may help people having certain cancer or other surgeries in the chest and belly area, and could make surgery less invasive.
This study looks at adults and teens who had emergency abdominal surgery to understand their recovery and improve care. It may help future patients by identifying what works best and where improvements are needed.
This trial tests a new robotic surgery system for common operations on the colon, rectum, prostate, kidney, bladder, stomach, esophagus, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia. It may offer a less invasive option for patients who need surgery for these conditions.
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 tests a new robotic system for doing keyhole surgery on children's bellies and chests. The goal is to see if it's safe and works well for operations that need small cuts instead of large ones.
