Comparing two hernia prevention methods in robotic esophageal cancer surgery
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of closing the diaphragm during robotic esophageal cancer surgery to see if one reduces the chance of a hernia later. If you're having a robotic esophagectomy for cure, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer
- You are scheduled for a robotic esophagectomy (a surgery to remove part of the esophagus) aimed at curing your cancer
- Your cancer has not spread to other organs (no distant metastases) based on imaging or clinical exam
- You are able to provide written permission (consent) to participate

This trial compares two different surgical approaches for people with esophageal cancer who have already received treatment like chemo or radiation before surgery. It aims to see which method works better and is safer.
This trial compares robot-assisted surgery with the standard open chest operation to remove esophagus and nearby tissue. It may help you understand which approach works better and is safer for patients whose cancer can be surgically removed.
This trial compares robotic surgery versus the standard open approach to repair a ventral hernia. It may help determine which method works best and is safer or easier for the right patients.
This study compares different surgical techniques to repair a large hiatal hernia using either an absorbable mesh, stronger anchoring stitches, or stitches alone. If you qualify and agree, you would be randomly assigned to one of these repair methods to see which works best.
This trial compares two ways to repair medium to large ventral hernias (bulges in the belly wall): open surgery (with a cut) versus robotic-assisted surgery (using small tools and a camera). The goal is to see if the robotic approach leads to better recovery.
This trial tests a new robotic approach to remove the esophagus in people with early to mid-stage esophageal cancer. It aims to see if robotic surgery is safe and effective.
