Remote robotic surgery for liver echinococcosis in high-altitude areas
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This early-stage trial tests whether surgeons can safely remove liver infections (echinococcosis) using robotic surgery controlled remotely over 5G networks in high-altitude regions. It may help patients in remote areas access specialized surgical care without traveling to major medical centers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You have been diagnosed with hepatic echinococcosis (a parasitic infection in the liver) that needs surgery to remove
- Your liver function is relatively healthy (Child-Pugh Class A or B—your doctor can tell you this)
- Your case is not too complex (no major blood vessel involvement or advanced disease)
- You do not have severe heart, lung, or blood clotting problems
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or currently in another clinical trial

This trial tests a new robotic system that lets surgeons perform laparoscopic surgery from a distance. It's for people with certain cancers needing surgery on the kidney, prostate, stomach, colon, liver, spleen, uterus, or lung.
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.
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 study offers robotic surgery for prostate conditions to people who don't have access to it. It uses a remote connection to allow expert surgeons to perform the procedure, giving you the same advanced treatment as if you were in a big city hospital.
This study is testing how safe and doable it is to use a robot to remove liver tumors. It may help researchers find a better way to perform liver surgery with fewer complications.
This study looks at parts of the liver cyst wall during surgery for echinococcosis. It aims to learn more about the infection to help future treatments.
