The goal of this observational study is to learn if a new surgical technique, called the NICE procedure, is as safe as standard methods for treating benign left-sided colon and rectal diseases in adults. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the NICE procedure lead to similar or lower rates of surgical site infections (SSIs) within 30 days compared to traditional surgery? Researchers will gather information from hospitals across the country to evaluate how well this procedure works when performed by experienced surgeons in everyday clinical settings. Participants will: Have surgery using the NICE procedure, which uses a robotic platform and removes the specimen through a natural opening (the rectum). Be monitored for any infections or complications after surgery. Complete surveys to track their recovery, bowel function, and quality of life for up to 6 months. This study may help improve recovery, reduce pain, and lower infection risk in future colorectal surgeries.

This study is being performed to compare different methods of visualization during routine gum surgery. The gum surgery is standard of care. This study will compare the use of a small camera (videoscope) in conjunction with magnification glasses during surgery vs. surgery only using magnification glasses. Both methods are routinely used and are standard of care methods of visualization. The small camera (videoscope) is a device which allows us to see the area under high magnification and projects live video feed on a computer screen. The study is a split-mouth design pilot study. The patients are only receiving treatment that was previously diagnosed prior to entering the study. The treatment performed is standard treatment that fits in the routine standard of care. No interventional treatment is being performed. The only difference is the method of visualization/observation by the practitioner used during the surgical procedure. One side of the mouth will be treated with just loupes while the other side of the mouth will be treated with loupes and the videoscope.
