Robotic surgery breakthrough: single-port approach tested for stomach cancer
NCT ID NCT07237126
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new robotic surgery method that uses only one small incision to remove stomach cancer. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well. Twenty adults with stomach cancer will take part, and doctors will watch for complications during and up to 30 days after surgery.
