NCT ID NCT06849271
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new robotic system (Bitrack) for kidney and prostate surgeries in 27 adults. The goal was to see if the system could perform surgeries as fast as or faster than current robotic methods. The study looked at surgery time and followed patients for 30 days after surgery.
