ROBOTIC SURGERY

This study compares two ways to perform nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate DIEP flap breast reconstruction: robotic-assisted surgery through a single small incision, versus the standard open surgery with a larger cut. The goal is to see which approach leads to better patien…

This study looks at when to perform a lung recruitment maneuver—a procedure that reopens collapsed lung areas—during robotic prostate surgery. Researchers will compare doing it before or after the patient is tilted head-down and gas is pumped into the abdomen. The goal is to see …

This study is observing 100 people with stage IIB-III non-small cell lung cancer who have already received chemotherapy and immunotherapy. After that treatment, they will have robotic-assisted sleeve lobectomy (a type of lung surgery). The goal is to see how often the surgery is …

This study looks at how extreme head-down positioning (Trendelenburg) and gas inflation during robotic surgery affect the heart's ability to pump blood. Researchers will monitor 80 patients—some with normal heart function and some with heart failure—using a special probe and brai…

This study uses anonymous online questionnaires to find out what the general public and doctors think about robotic surgery, telesurgery, and telemedicine. Researchers want to understand levels of awareness, trust, and concerns, as well as what training doctors feel they need. Th…
