European registry launches to monitor robotic surgery safety
NCT ID NCT03385109
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This observational registry is following 500 patients aged 18–80 who undergo robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery using the Senhance Surgical System. The goal is to track any adverse events and gather real-world safety data across urology, abdominal, thoracic, and gynecologic procedures. No new treatment is being tested; instead, the registry collects information to better understand the risks and outcomes of this robotic surgical device.
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 (robotic surgical device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry will provide real-world safety data on robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgeries, potentially guiding future surgical practices.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by differences in patient selection or surgical techniques across centers.
