Remote vs. On-Site Robotic Surgery for Liver, Gallbladder, or Pancreas
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for robotic surgery on your liver, gallbladder, or pancreas (such as removing a part of the liver, the gallbladder, or the head of the pancreas).
- Your overall health is good enough for surgery (ASA class I to III and ECOG score 0 to 2).
- Your blood counts and kidney/liver function are within safe limits (checked by a blood test within 7 days before joining).
- You do not have severe heart, lung, kidney, liver, or brain disease that would make surgery unsafe, and you are not pregnant.

This study is testing a new robotic system for several types of abdominal surgeries. Depending on your diagnosis, you may qualify for a specific part of this trial that looks at how well this robot can help with your operation.
This trial compares robot-assisted surgery to open surgery for people with gallbladder cancer that has been found after a gallbladder removal. The goal is to see which approach is better for the radical removal of remaining cancer.
This study tests whether remote robotic surgery is safe and effective for people having robot-assisted operations. It may help expand access to specialized surgical care.
This trial is comparing two types of keyhole surgery for removing the gallbladder: one done with a robot and the other with standard laparoscopic tools. The goal is to find out which technique leads to a better recovery and fewer complications for people with non-cancerous gallbladder problems like gallstones or polyps.
This study looks at whether robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (a major operation to remove part of the pancreas and nearby ducts) is safe and effective for people with certain tumors in the pancreas head and nearby areas. If you qualify, your surgery approach and outcomes will be closely tracked to see how well this robotic method works.
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.
