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 study tests a new robotic system for doing keyhole surgery on children's bellies and chests. The goal is to see if it's safe and works well for operations that need small cuts instead of large ones.
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 looks at how well robotic-assisted surgery works for children having digestive, urinary, gynecologic, or chest surgery. It aims to understand the results and safety of this type of surgery in a children's hospital.
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 compares two types of robot-assisted surgery for treating prostate or kidney cancer. It aims to see if a single-port approach (through one small incision) is as safe and effective as the standard multi-port approach (through several small incisions), potentially offering faster recovery and less pain.
