Single-port robotic surgery for children
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 17 years old (the first five patients must be 10 to 17)
- Your child needs one of these surgeries: pyeloplasty (kidney repair), vesicoureteral reflux repair (bladder valve fix), or gastro-oesophageal reflux surgery (stomach valve repair)
- You and your child must agree to participate and sign a consent form
- Your child is being seen at Saint-Etienne University Hospital's children's surgery clinic
- You must have French social security coverage

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 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.
This trial tests the Versius robotic system for minimally invasive urology surgery in children under 18. It may help young patients have a less invasive procedure with a smaller incision and faster recovery.
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 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 looks at the results of robot-assisted surgeries in children to learn how safe and effective they are. It focuses on surgeries done in 2025 at one children's hospital.
