Remote robotic surgery for liver infection in high-altitude areas
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to perform liver surgery using robotic technology that is controlled remotely through a 5G network. It is designed for people living in high-altitude areas who need surgery for a liver infection called hepatic echinococcosis. The goal is to see if this remote surgery is safe and effective.
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 liver infection caused by a tapeworm) and need surgery to remove part of your liver.
- Your liver is working well enough for surgery (your doctor will check this).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you don't have severe heart or lung problems that would make surgery risky.

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 study compares robotic surgery done by a surgeon who is in the same room versus a surgeon who controls the robot from a remote location. It is for adults having certain liver, gallbladder, or pancreas operations, and may help show whether remote surgery is as safe and effective.
This study tests a new way to freeze and destroy small lung tumors using a robotic tube that goes through your mouth into your lungs, guided by 5G remote technology. It is for people who cannot or choose not to have surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, and want a less invasive option.
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 compares two types of liver surgery: one that removes a part of the liver through a small cut (laparoscopic, or keyhole) and one that uses a remote approach (likely robotic or distant technique). The goal is to see which is safer and more effective for patients who need liver surgery.
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.
