9 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to implement and evaluate postoperative virtual care visits for patients who undergo a laparoscopic appendectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, or robotic cholecystectomy. The investigators aim to better understand whether postoperative virtual care visits will not result in a greater composite measure of the occurrence of hospital encounters within Atrium Health (AH) for the 30 days following surgery than standard in-person clinic care. The investigators also aim to better understand whether postoperative virtual care visits provide time and cost savings, and provide equal or improved patient satisfaction and convenience.
This research is being done to examine which minimally invasive surgical approach is associated with the best outcomes when performing cholecystectomy surgery: laparoscopic or robotic? Laparoscopic and robotic approaches are similar surgical procedures using small incisions. The laparoscopic approach is largely used for the removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy). At UIC, the investigators perform the majority of the gallbladder surgeries through the robotic approach and only a few using the laparoscopic approach. The robotic surgical tools allows the surgeon the same freedom of movement as a human wrist, while using a 3D camera view. The laparoscopic and robotic surgical approaches both represent minimally invasive surgery approach and are associated with less pain, faster recovery and better cosmetic outcomes when compared to traditional open surgery. It is not currently known which approach is better.
This is a study of new technology to allow gallbladder removal through a single small surgical incision. A surgical robot is utilized to help navigate the small space. In this study, patient characteristics are broad to assess how applicable the procedure is to everyone.
A multi-center retrospective chart review of short-term outcomes associated with robotic-assisted cholecystectomies performed during regular hours and after-hours.
Comparing the use of surgical robotics during a Cholecystectomy, comparing different platforms and approaches (multi port verses single port).
The study aims to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes after complex robotic-assisted and laparoscopic cholecystectomies.
Prospective, randomized , multicenter study comparing cholecystectomy performed with da Vinci Single Site Instruments™ to multi-port (four ports) laparoscopy
The goal of this clinical trial is to provide additional data to confirm safety and performance of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System in a human clinical setting. This pilot study is intended to provide an initial assessment to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness for the utilization of the da Vinci Xi on pediatric and adolescent patients. This clinical trial will be conducted under the auspices of Stanford University's IRB approval.
This study evaluates the use of the FloShield System with the FloShield 10mm reusable Cannula and Oburator during standard robotic laparoscopic single-site surgery. The study will evaluate the compatibility of the FloShield 10mm Cannula and Oburator with the daVinci® Robotic Surgical System during single-site laparoscopic surgery.
