Comparing single-port vs multi-port robotic surgery for stomach cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two robotic surgery methods for removing the lower part of the stomach in people with early-stage stomach cancer. The goal is to see if the single-port approach is as safe and effective as the multi-port approach, potentially leading to less pain and faster recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with stomach cancer (adenocarcinoma) that has not spread to other organs.
- Your tumor is in the middle or lower part of your stomach, and your doctor believes it can be completely removed with surgery.
- You have not had major stomach or upper abdominal surgery before (minor surgeries like appendix removal are okay).
- You are generally healthy enough for surgery (no severe heart, lung, liver, or kidney problems).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are willing to follow the study rules.

This trial compares two minimally invasive surgical approaches for early-stage stomach cancer affecting the upper portion. Researchers want to see if a newer single-port technique (using one small incision) works as well as traditional laparoscopic surgery (using multiple small incisions) and may cause less pain or faster recovery.
This trial compares two robotic surgery methods for rectal cancer: using one small incision (single-port) versus several small incisions (multi-port). The goal is to see which approach offers better outcomes while preserving the sphincter (the muscle that controls bowel movements).
This study compares two ways to remove the lower part of your stomach after you receive chemotherapy before surgery: one uses small incisions (laparoscopic) and the other uses a larger cut (open). The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
This trial is testing a newer, less invasive robotic surgery technique that uses just one small incision to remove stomach cancer. It may offer faster recovery and less pain compared to traditional surgery.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove part of the stomach in people with early-stage stomach cancer. One uses a robotic system with small cuts, and the other uses traditional keyhole surgery, to see which leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
This study compares two ways of removing the whole stomach for stomach cancer that is in the middle or upper part and can be operated on. One method uses a robot, the other uses standard keyhole surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
