Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with obesity who meet metabolic surgery criteria (BMI ≥27.5 kg/m2), can tolerate general anesthesia, and agree to sign informed consent are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are pregnant, have severe heart, lung, or liver dysfunction, serious coagulation disorders, active tumors, extensive abdominal adhesions, or are otherwise judged unsuitable (including BMI >50 kg/m2 as a relative contraindication) are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies

This single-center interventional study at China-Japan Friendship Hospital will perform single-port robot-assisted metabolic (bariatric) operations and collect short-term clinical outcomes on safety and effectiveness. Eligible patients are adults with BMI ≥27.5 kg/m2 who meet local criteria for metabolic weight-loss surgery, can tolerate general anesthesia, and provide informed consent. The study will record intraoperative metrics, complication rates, early weight loss, and recovery measures during the immediate postoperative follow-up. Results are intended to provide further evidence to support clinical adoption of domestic single-port robotic systems.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the procedure could provide a less invasive option with similar weight-loss results while potentially reducing complications and speeding recovery.

How similar studies have gone: Robotic and single-incision laparoscopic bariatric procedures have shown feasibility and acceptable short-term outcomes in small series, but single-port robotic systems are relatively novel and less well studied.
