Robotic surgery for colon or rectal tumors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new robotic system for removing colon or rectal tumors. It aims to make surgery less invasive, which may lead to less pain and faster recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have colon or rectal cancer, or a large polyp that can't be removed with a scope
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 35
- The tumor is not very advanced (has not grown into nearby organs)
- The tumor is not a recurrence (coming back after treatment)
- You have not had major abdominal surgery in the past that would make robotic surgery risky
- You are healthy enough for general anesthesia and do not have serious infections or bleeding problems

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 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 trial compares two surgical approaches to remove rectal cancer while preserving bowel function. Researchers want to see which method—performed through the anus or with robotic assistance—leads to better outcomes and quality of life.
This trial tests a new robotic technique for stomach cancer surgery using an extra robot arm. It may help you recover faster and with 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 compares the effectiveness of robotic surgery to traditional laparoscopic surgery for treating right colon cancer. It aims to see if robotic surgery leads to better outcomes and faster recovery.
