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 types of minimally invasive surgery to remove stomach cancer that has grown into the stomach wall but has not spread. The goal is to see if using a robot gives better recovery and results than standard laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
This trial compares two types of surgery for esophageal cancer after you've already had chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy. The goal is to see which surgery is better for removing the cancer and helping you recover.
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 study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove part of the stomach in people with early-stage stomach cancer. One uses a robotic system with small cuts, and the other uses traditional keyhole surgery, to see which leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
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 trial compares three ways to repair a large hiatal hernia—using an absorbable mesh (a dissolvable patch), special sutures with small pledgets (reinforcement pads), or sutures alone. The goal is to find out which method works best for preventing the hernia from coming back.
