NCT ID NCT07081828

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study is a registry that collects data on children under 18 who undergo robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery using the Senhance Surgical System. The goal is to track safety and outcomes, such as complications, hospital stay length, and pain levels. By gathering real-world information, researchers hope to better understand how this technology performs in pediatric patients.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Senhance Surgical System (robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery)
What this could lead to
If successful, this registry could help establish the safety and feasibility of robot-assisted surgery in children, potentially expanding its use in pediatric care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove the robot is better than standard surgery. It only tracks outcomes in a small group of children, and results may not apply broadly.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * \< 18 years of age * Body weight \> 10 kg * Indication for a potential robot-assisted operation * Expected survival of \> 3 months Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects requiring surgery on the heart or greater vessels. * Subjects for whom a laparoscopic approach and endoscopic approach in the thoracic area is not appropriate. * Anaesthetic contraindications, children with pacemakers or other implants for which electrosurgery must be avoided, children with cancer, parents who prefer to proceed with classical or manual laparoscopic surgery. * Subjects pregnant over the second trimester of pregnancy. * Parents or children with insufficient understanding of the site's local language (e.g. Dutch, German) or English language. * Presence of any relevant severe condition or clinically relevant abnormal laboratory parameters due to which an endoscopic or laparoscopic surgical technique is contraindicated. * Subjects who would require an intervention to the upper mediastinum or to the upper pleural cavity regions as referred in the Senhance Surgical System User Manual (UM-001-00035\_CE).
