Nerve-Sparing Robotic Prostatectomy: How Baseline Health Affects Post-Surgery Erections
Researchers will test whether a patient’s age, health history, and pre-surgery sexual function can predict erectile function after nerve-sparing robot-assisted prostatectomy.
-
Lowering gas pressure in robotic surgery to reduce pain after surgery
In adults undergoing robot-assisted surgery, this study tests whether using low-pressure CO2 with the AirSeal device reduces pain and speeds recovery compared with standard-pressure gas.
-
Timing of Recruitment Maneuver in Robotic Prostate Surgery
This study tests whether doing a recruitment maneuver before or after CO2 insufflation during robotic prostate surgery helps prevent lung problems afterward.
-
Robotic-assisted sleeve lobectomy after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy for stage IIB-III non-small cell lung cancer
See how often robotic-assisted sleeve lobectomy after neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy succeeds and what makes the surgery harder for adults with stage IIB-III non-small cell lung cancer.
-
Open versus robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate DIEP or implant reconstruction
This trial will test whether robotic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy leads to better wellbeing and patient-reported outcomes than standard open nipple-sparing mastectomy in adults having immediate implant or DIEP flap breast reconstruction.
-
Understanding patient preferences for different thyroid surgery methods
This study is trying to understand what patients think about different thyroid surgery methods, like robotic and open surgery, to see which factors matter most to them when making their choice.
-
Endoscopic and robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction
This study is testing a new type of breast surgery that uses advanced techniques to remove cancer while keeping the nipple and immediately placing an implant to see if it helps patients feel better about their appearance and recover well.
-
Assessing lymph node removal quality during minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery
This study is testing a new scoring system to see if it can help doctors better assess lymph node removal during minimally invasive surgery for stomach cancer and improve patient outcomes.
-
Heart performance during steep head-down positioning for robotic pelvic surgery
This test looks at how heart function changes during steep head-down tilt in people having robotic pelvic surgery, including those with and without systolic heart failure.
-
Training program for novice robotic surgeons
This study tests a training program to help new surgeons learn robotic surgery skills and become competent in performing these procedures.
NIH-funded research (3)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.

BRIDGEX: Safer, clearer AI-guided robotic surgery through shared learning
A project to let surgeons and engineers share and improve explainable AI tools for robotic surgery, while protecting patient data.
-
Rapid Adoption of Robotic Surgery and its Risks, Benefits, and Unintended Consequences
This grant looks at how robotic surgery is used in the U.S., who benefits, and where it might cause more harm or cost, with a focus on real-world outcomes.
-
Understanding the risks and benefits of robotic surgery
This study looks at how often robotic surgery is being used for common operations like gallbladder removal and hernia repairs, checking how well it works and how much it costs, so patients can better understand their options.
