This study tests whether special force feedback instruments, used with the da Vinci surgical robot, can safely and effectively repair leaky mitral valves. The trial includes 30 adults with moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation. Researchers will check for major complications and…

This trial compares two established biopsy methods for small lung nodules (≤2 cm): CT-guided percutaneous biopsy and shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with cone-beam CT. The goal is to see which approach is more effective at diagnosing cancer and which has fewer complic…

This study tests an injection called IS-001 that makes ureters glow under special imaging during robotic colorectal surgery. The goal is to help surgeons see the ureters more clearly and avoid accidentally injuring them. About 146 adults having robotic-assisted colorectal surgery…

This study compares two types of minimally invasive lung cancer surgery: robotic-assisted (RATS) and video-assisted (VATS). It will follow 512 patients across Europe to see which technique leads to better quality of life and recovery. The goal is to help surgeons and patients mak…

This study is observing how well robotic-assisted surgery works for women with gynecological conditions. It will follow 1,250 participants in Germany for up to 12 months after surgery to track complications, recovery, and patient-reported outcomes. The goal is to gather real-worl…

This study is observing how well the Ion endoluminal system, a robotic tool, works for lung nodule biopsies and localization in everyday medical practice across Europe. Researchers will track 1,200 adults to see how often the tool correctly diagnoses lung nodules and how often co…

This study looks back at medical records of 1000 adults who had emergency appendix removal using either robotic assistance or standard laparoscopic surgery. The goal is to compare things like surgery time, complications, and recovery. No new treatment is being tested—just gatheri…
