Robot-assisted removal of hard colorectal growths
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares a new robot-assisted endoscope with the traditional method for removing hard-to-remove colorectal growths. The goal is to see if the robot helps make the removal safer and more complete.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a colorectal growth (polyp or early cancer) that your doctor plans to remove using a special endoscopic technique called ESD.
- The growth is the kind that is hard to remove with a standard snare, for example it lies flat, has certain patterns, or has scar tissue from previous procedures.
- You are willing to take part and sign a consent form.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have a bleeding disorder.
- You do not have signs that the growth is deeply invading the colon wall, and it is not in a tricky location like the appendix or a diverticulum.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a robot-assisted scope procedure can safely and effectively remove early-stage colorectal growths (polyps or early cancers). If you have such a growth and are eligible, this approach may offer a less invasive way to remove it compared to traditional surgery.
This trial tests a new technique called RDI mode, which may help doctors remove early-stage tumors from the esophagus, stomach, or colon more safely. If you have a small early tumor or polyp, this study could help determine if the new method works better and has fewer complications.
This trial tests a new robotic system to remove large, flat growths in the lower part of the rectum that are too big for standard removal. The goal is to remove the growth completely in one piece, which may help avoid more invasive surgery.
This trial tests a robotic-assisted endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) to remove early-stage tumors from the stomach, colon, or rectum without major surgery. It aims to see if this new robotic method is safe and effective.
This study tests a new robot-assisted tool to remove early-stage stomach cancer or precancerous cells through a scope (endoscope) without open surgery. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at removing the abnormal tissue completely.
This study tests a new device that helps doctors remove abnormal growths, or lesions, from the colon or rectum. It aims to see if the device makes it easier to remove these growths completely and safely.
