Single-Port robot could make pediatric surgery less invasive

NCT ID NCT07660497

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This trial tests whether a new robotic system that uses only one small incision (single port) can safely perform common abdominal surgeries in children. The study includes children aged 1 to 17 who need procedures like pyeloplasty or reflux treatment. The goal is to see if the single-port robot works as well as current multi-incision robots, with fewer scars and less pain.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Single Port robotic system

What this could lead to

If successful, this could make robotic surgery less invasive for children, with fewer incisions and potentially faster recovery.

What could go wrong

This is a very small early feasibility study (10 children). The system is not yet approved for children, and there may be technical difficulties or complications.
