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 This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
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
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested a new robotic surgery technique that protects the vagus nerve during spleen removal and blood vessel disconnection in 60 cirrhosis patients with portal hypertension. The goal was to see if it reduces common side effects like diarrhea and delayed stomach emptying compared to standard robotic surgery. The approach aims to improve recovery and quality of life 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
Vagus nerve-guided robotic-assisted splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection
What this could lead to
If successful, this nerve-sparing surgical technique could reduce diarrhea and stomach-emptying problems after spleen removal in cirrhosis patients, improving their quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 60 participants. The results may not apply to all cirrhosis patients, and the surgery itself carries standard risks like bleeding or infection.
