Robot-Assisted hysterectomy shows promise in small trial
NCT ID NCT06473675
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested the safety and effectiveness of the DEXTER robotic system in 52 patients having a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and related surgery for non-cancerous conditions. The main goals were to see if the robotic procedure could be completed without switching to open or standard laparoscopic surgery, and to track any serious complications. The results help confirm whether this robotic tool is a reliable option for these surgeries.
