Robot-Assisted colon surgery: a new tool under the microscope
NCT ID NCT07123051
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- DEXTER robotic surgery system
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that the DEXTER robot is a safe and effective tool for performing right colectomy, potentially offering a new surgical option.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 33 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There are standard surgical risks like infection or complications.
