Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 scheduled for robot-assisted abdominal or pelvic procedures.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a BMI over 45 or contraindications to minimally invasive surgery may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This phase II trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the da Vinci single port robotic device (SP1098) for performing abdominal and pelvic surgeries. The device allows surgeons to conduct complex procedures through a single small incision, potentially leading to less pain, fewer complications, and improved recovery times for patients. Participants will undergo surgery using this robotic system, which is FDA-approved for other surgical indications. The study aims to gather data on the outcomes of these procedures compared to traditional methods.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to less invasive surgical options with improved recovery for patients undergoing abdominal and pelvic surgeries.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies using robotic systems for minimally invasive surgeries have shown promising results, indicating potential for success in this approach.
