Hybrid robotic surgery for gynecologic procedures using ROB platform
Official title: HYbrid RObotic Surgery in Gynecology (HYROS-GYN)
Run by Rob Surgical Systems S.L. · NCT07832539 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether the ROB robotic platform and its endoscopic instruments can be safely used to perform laparoscopic hysterectomy with or without removal of tubes and/or ovaries in adult women.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18-90 scheduled for laparoscopic total hysterectomy, with or without salpingectomy and/or oophorectomy, who may also require SLN biopsy or pelvic lymphadenectomy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients not expected to benefit include those with conditions requiring radical hysterectomy or contraindications to robotic-assisted surgery.

What this trial studies
HYROS-GYN is a confirmatory, open-label study evaluating the safety and performance of the ROB-Bitrack robotic system and its ESE and NESE instruments during robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy, with or without salpingectomy and/or oophorectomy, and with possible lymph node procedures. The study uses a single-arm, non-randomized design across two sites and follows patients from baseline through 30 days post-surgery, with visits at baseline, procedure, discharge, and days 7, 14, and 30. Adults aged 18 to 90 undergoing planned laparoscopic total hysterectomy are eligible, including those needing sentinel lymph node biopsy or pelvic lymphadenectomy per investigator criteria. The primary hypothesis centers on the safe and correct performance of the instruments when controlled by the ROB system under surgeon control. Data collection focuses on perioperative safety and device performance within 30 days of surgery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve precision and safety of gynecologic laparoscopic surgeries using robotic assistance.
How similar studies have gone: Previous experiences with robotic endoscopic instruments in gynecologic procedures have shown safety and feasibility; HYROS-GYN tests a similar approach in a small, focused cohort.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. \- Subjects with a gynecological indication for a laparoscopic total hysterectomy, with or without salpingectomy and/or oophorectomy (i.e., removal of one or both fallopian tubes and/or ovaries). 2. \- Subjects that additionally to the hysterectomy procedure may require sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLN) and/or pelvic lymphadenectomy (LND) according to investigator criteria. 3. \- Ability and willingness to comply with all study requirements to be evaluated for each study visit Exclusion Criteria: 1. \- Pregnant or breastfeeding women at the time of the surgery 2. \- Subjects with a medical indication for radical hysterectomy (e.g., suspected or confirmed invasive cervical cancer or other conditions requiring radical surgical management). 3. \- Subjects who had been treated with radiation therapy previous to the surgery. 4. \- Subjects with uterine enlargement \>8 cm for which morcellation would not allow for vaginal removal. 5. \- Subjects with a BMI ≥ 40 6. \- Subjects not suitable to undergo MIS/MIRS, according to medical criteria: 1. with severe concomitant illness (e.g., severe cardiopulmonary, corornary artery disease or bleeding disorders) 2. that have been submitted to multiple previous abdominal surgeries with multiple adhesions . 7- Subjects admitted to the hospital due to an emergency situation. 8 - Subjects with untreated active infection 9 - Subject with any contraindication for the use of Bitrack Sytem \& ESE/NESE Instruments and/or known allergy to some of the device components (i.e., stainless steel, etc.) 10 - Subjects with life expectancy inferior to 3 months 11 - Subjects with abuses of active substances or with uncontrolled psychiatric disorders 12 - Subjects scheduled for surgeries intended to be in direct contact with the heart, the central circulatory system or the central nervous system. 13 - Inability to adhere to study-related procedures 14 - Subjects who participate in another trial which may affect the outcome data on this study or the ability to complete the follow up requirements
