Robotic remote keyhole surgery for chest and belly procedures
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for a specific surgery in urology (like kidney or prostate), general surgery (like stomach or bowel), gynecology (like hysterectomy), or chest surgery (like lung removal).
- You are willing to participate, sign a consent form, and attend follow-up visits.
- You do not need emergency surgery.
- You have no other current or past cancer (except the one being treated).
- Your cancer has not spread to distant parts of the body, and you are not at high risk of bleeding or have conditions that weaken your immune system.

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 study tests a remote surgery program where doctors use technology to perform or assist robotic surgery from a distance. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for patients like you.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove the right side of your colon for cancer: one done with the help of a robot, and the other done with a laparoscope (a long, thin tube with a camera). The goal is to see if one method leads to better recovery or outcomes.
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.
This trial is comparing two types of keyhole surgery for removing the gallbladder: one done with a robot and the other with standard laparoscopic tools. The goal is to find out which technique leads to a better recovery and fewer complications for people with non-cancerous gallbladder problems like gallstones or polyps.
This study compares two ways of removing the whole stomach for stomach cancer that is in the middle or upper part and can be operated on. One method uses a robot, the other uses standard keyhole surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
