This study tested an injection called IS-001 that helps surgeons see the ureters (tubes from kidneys to bladder) during robotic gynecological surgery. 189 women having robotic surgery received the dye, and doctors checked how well it made the ureters visible using special fluores…

This study tested a new way to biopsy small lung nodules (≤2 cm) using a robotic system called Ion and a special 3D imaging machine called Cios Spin. The goal was to see how accurate and safe the biopsy procedure is. 155 adults took part, and the study measured how often the need…

This study tested whether a robotic bronchoscopy system, guided by real-time 3D CT scans, can more accurately biopsy lung nodules. 200 adults with suspicious lung nodules took part. The goal was to see how often the biopsy tool reached the exact nodule location before sampling, w…

This study tested a dye called IS-002 that makes prostate cancer cells glow under near-infrared light during robotic prostate removal surgery. 59 men with aggressive prostate cancer received the dye before surgery to see if it helps surgeons find and remove all cancer cells. The …

This study looked at whether 3D models made from CT or MRI scans help surgeons plan lung or rectal surgeries better than the usual 2D images. Researchers reviewed 80 past cases and asked surgeons to compare their plans using each method. The goal was to see if the 3D view improve…

This study tested a new imaging system called JURA in 20 adults having minimally invasive abdominal surgery. The goal was to see if the system could capture clear images during the procedure. It was an early feasibility study to check how well the system works in people.
