This study tested whether an injection called IS-001 could help surgeons see the ureter more clearly during robotic gynecological surgery. The ureter is a tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder, and accidentally injuring it is a serious risk. The goal was to see i…

This study tested whether a special fluorescent dye called IS-002 could help surgeons see prostate cancer tissue more clearly during robotic surgery. The goal was to see if this improved vision helped surgeons remove all the cancer while sparing healthy tissue, potentially leadin…

This study tested a new, combined robotic system designed to improve the accuracy of lung nodule biopsies. It involved 155 adults with small lung nodules (2 cm or smaller) to see how well the system could guide a needle directly into the nodule for a tissue sample. The main goal …

This study tested a robotic system designed to help doctors more accurately place biopsy tools inside small lung nodules. It involved 200 adults in Europe who needed a biopsy because they were at moderate to high risk for lung cancer. The main goal was to see how often the roboti…

This study looked back at past patient scans to see if 3D models help surgeons plan complex lung and colon cancer surgeries better than standard 2D images. Surgeons reviewed the 3D models and answered questionnaires about their usefulness for planning. The goal was to gather know…
