Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older scheduled for elective colorectal surgeries using the Hugo RAS system.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients requiring urgent colorectal surgery or those with severe cognitive impairment may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study assesses the safety and efficacy of the Hugo Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS) system in performing colorectal procedures. Conducted at the General University Hospital of Elche, the study involves a case series of patients undergoing scheduled colorectal surgeries, including various neoplasias and minimally invasive techniques. Data collected includes demographic, clinical, and perioperative information, as well as postoperative outcomes and complications. The analysis will utilize SPSS software to evaluate the results and ensure comprehensive statistical assessment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance surgical outcomes and recovery for patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
How similar studies have gone: While robotic surgery is an established field, this specific application of the Hugo RAS system is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.

Preventing colon anastomotic leaks by stenting the superior mesenteric artery
This trial tests whether placing a stent in the superior mesenteric artery before elective colon surgery can reduce anastomotic leaks in patients over 40 with an asymptomatic >50% SMA stenosis.
-
Using fingertip CRP point-of-care tests to spot leaks after elective colorectal surgery
This project will see if daily fingertip CRP point-of-care tests can detect anastomotic leaks early in people having elective colorectal surgery.
-
Peripheral autonomic plus TAP blocks for pain after minimally invasive left-sided colorectal surgery
This will try adding a peripheral autonomic block (targeting the superior hypogastric and inferior mesenteric plexuses) plus a TAP block to standard pain control in adults having elective minimally invasive left-sided colorectal surgery to see if it reduces pain and opioid use in the first 48 hours.
