Robotic keyhole surgery for children's belly and chest
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new robotic system for doing keyhole surgery on children's bellies and chests. The goal is to see if it's safe and works well for operations that need small cuts instead of large ones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The child must be under 18 years old.
- The child needs surgery on the belly, chest, or pelvic area that can be done through small incisions (keyhole surgery).
- A parent or legal guardian must sign a consent form, and the child gives their own agreement if old enough.
- The child must not have had surgery on the same area before (unless the doctor says it's safe).
- No active infections, bleeding disorders, or severe heart conditions that make surgery risky.

This trial tests a faster, robotic-assisted surgery for children ages 6 to 21. It aims to see if completing part of the operation using a robot can be as safe and effective as traditional open surgery, possibly leading to quicker recovery and less pain.
This trial tests a new robotic system that allows surgeons to perform laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery from a remote location. It may help people having certain cancer or other surgeries in the chest and belly area, and could make surgery less invasive.
This trial tests a new robotic system that uses only one small incision for common childhood abdominal surgeries. It might mean less pain and faster recovery for your child.
This study looks at how well robotic-assisted surgery works for children having digestive, urinary, gynecologic, or chest surgery. It aims to understand the results and safety of this type of surgery in a children's hospital.
This trial studies how well and how efficiently robotic surgery works in both children and adults who need a procedure where robotic surgery is appropriate. It may help surgeons plan safer, smoother operations and improve operating-room efficiency.
This study tests using robotic surgery for emergency operations on the belly. It aims to see if robotic tools can make these urgent procedures safer or more effective.
