Testing a robotic surgical system for children's chest and belly surgery
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new robotic surgical tool designed to perform minimally invasive (small-cut) chest and abdominal surgery in children. The goal is to check if it is safe and works well for procedures that normally require laparoscopic (camera-guided) surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is under 18 years old
- Your child needs chest or belly laparoscopic surgery and is healthy enough for it
- Your child has not had previous surgery at the same site
- Your child does not have active chest, belly, or pelvic infection, or severe bleeding disorders
- Your child is not pregnant (if applicable) and has no severe heart disease or uncontrolled seizures
- Your child is not enrolled in another surgery or device trial, or has waited the required time since their last trial

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 uses only one small incision for common childhood abdominal surgeries. It might mean less pain and faster recovery for your child.
This trial uses a robotic system to assist surgeons during chest and belly surgeries. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for procedures like hernia repair, gallbladder removal, or hysterectomy.
This trial studies a new surgical robot that uses only one small opening in the chest to remove a lung segment or lobe. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for patients who need this type of surgery.
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 trial studies a specific robotic surgical system during abdominal and pelvic surgeries. It may help doctors improve how these operations are done using minimally invasive techniques (smaller cuts).
