Remote and Local Laparoscopic Liver Surgery Study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two approaches to removing part of the liver using minimally invasive surgery (small cuts instead of large ones). Researchers want to see if remote guidance (a surgeon controlling from a distance) and local surgery (surgeon present) produce similar results and help patients recover well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- Your BMI (weight-to-height ratio) is between 18 and 30

- Your liver function is good (Child-Pugh grade A and ICG retention test under 15%)
- You are physically healthy enough for laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery
- You can attend follow-up appointments and complete study visits

This study uses MRI imaging and computer modeling to better plan liver surgery and related liver treatments. It may help doctors predict circulation (blood flow) changes during surgery and choose safer surgical timing or approaches.
This trial looks at how major liver surgery with controlled blood flow (vascular clamping) affects patients. It may help doctors improve outcomes for people who need this type of operation.
This trial tests a new way to control blood flow during laparoscopic liver surgery. It compares two methods to see which is safer and more effective for patients with certain liver conditions.
This trial tests a laparoscopic surgical system for gynecological and remote surgeries. It may help patients who need minimally invasive surgery and can follow the study plan.
This study tests whether a nurse can monitor your recovery at home using connected tools after a minor laparoscopic liver surgery. It aims to make your hospital stay shorter and safer.
This study compares surgery performed by a surgeon in the same room versus surgery performed by a surgeon from a different location using a robot. It is for people having robot-assisted surgery on the liver, gallbladder, or pancreas.
