Comparing surgical methods for emergency abdominal operations
This trial compares different surgical techniques—open, laparoscopic (keyhole), and robotic—for emergency abdominal surgery. By joining, you may help doctors learn which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having emergency (non-planned) abdominal surgery.
- Your surgery is not a minor procedure like an appendix removal or abscess drainage.
- You are willing and able to follow study requirements, including filling out electronic questionnaires.
- You have access to an internet-enabled device (such as a phone, tablet, or computer).

This study tests using robotic surgery for emergency operations on the belly. It aims to see if robotic tools can make these urgent procedures safer or more effective.
This study looks at how to improve care for older patients (65+) who need emergency abdominal surgery. If you take part, you'll answer a survey or talk about your experience before and after surgery, to help make future care better.
This trial tests a robotic system that assists surgeons during minimally invasive abdominal surgery. It may help make surgery more precise and could mean less pain and faster recovery.
This study looks at adults and teens who had emergency abdominal surgery to understand their recovery and improve care. It may help future patients by identifying what works best and where improvements are needed.
This study looks at outcomes and whether emergency general surgery care is delivered fairly. It may help improve how hospitals support people having urgent abdominal surgery.
This trial is a web-based registry that collects information about people who need emergency surgical or non-surgical treatment for sudden (acute) problems. Your information can help doctors better understand and improve emergency care and decision-making.
