Summary

This early-stage study tests a new robotic system designed to help doctors remove early rectal tumors through the body's natural openings, avoiding any incisions. The robot aims to make a difficult procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) easier and more precise. Ten adults with early rectal growths will take part to see if the robot is safe and works well.
