Summary

This study is testing a new robotic system called DEXTER to help surgeons perform a right colectomy, which is the removal of the right part of the colon. The goal is to see if the robot is safe and works well during and right after surgery. About 33 adults who need this surgery will take part, and they will be followed for 30 days after the procedure.
