Testing a New Port Closure Device in Robotic Surgery
This study evaluates a new device called TroClose™ that helps close small surgical openings (ports) made during robotic surgery. Researchers want to see if it works safely and effectively compared to standard closure methods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 95 years old
- You are scheduled for elective (planned, non-emergency) robotic surgery that uses a 12mm assistant port
- Your surgeon believes the TroClose™ device is appropriate for your specific incision site
- You weigh at least 45 kilograms (about 99 pounds)
- You do not have an active infection at the surgical port site
- You have no prior surgical mesh at the location where the device will be placed

This study checks how well a newer single-opening (single-port) robot works for colorectal surgery. It may help surgeons perform operations with the robotic system in carefully selected colorectal conditions.
This study checks whether an endoscopy technique that brings tissue together safely closes several types of internal openings (like perforations or surgical leaks/defects). It also looks at whether the closures work well and have acceptable side effects.
This trial tests a new disposable device used during an endoscopy to close holes, leaks, or bleeding spots in the stomach or intestines. It may help patients who need a quick, safe closure without open surgery.
This trial tests a new suture-based closure device that seals the puncture site in your groin after a heart catheterization or similar procedure. The device aims to reduce bleeding and complications compared to standard closure methods.
This trial tests a new device called xDot that helps close the small hole in the leg after a heart procedure like a valve replacement or aneurysm repair. It is a feasibility study, meaning the device is being tested for safety and how well it works in people.
This trial tests new force feedback instruments in the da Vinci 5 robot during surgery. It aims to see if they help surgeons perform procedures more precisely for conditions like cancer or other diseases.
