Robot-assisted removal of large non-cancerous rectal growths
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a large, flat growth in your rectum, at least 2 cm in size, located between 3 and 18 cm from the anal opening.
- The growth is early-stage and not cancer, but it cannot be removed with standard techniques.
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I-III).
- You are willing to provide informed consent and attend follow-up visits.

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 compares two minimally invasive ways to remove small rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), which are growths in the rectum that are usually not cancer. The goal is to find which method is safer and more effective with fewer side effects.
This study tests new bipolar scissors that may make removing non-cancerous or early-stage colorectal growths during a colonoscopy safer and more effective. If you're scheduled for this procedure, the new scissors could improve your outcome.
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.
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 study compares two minimally invasive procedures to remove large, non-cancerous or early-stage growths in the rectum. The goal is to see if one method is safer or more effective, which may help you avoid more invasive surgery.
