About this study
Official title: A Novel Robotic System for Single Port and Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery: A Prospective, Single Center, Multispecialty Study
This is a prospective, single center, multispecialty study that aimed to evaluate the clinical feasibility and safety of single port surgery and NOTES (mainly transanal and transoral surgery) using a novel single port robotic system.
Read the detailed description
Background: Single port surgery and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) are emerging minimally invasive surgery techniques which can further reduce patient trauma and enhance recovery. However, the wider adoption of these techniques is hampered by the limitation of instrumentation and technical difficulties. Robotic assistance may improve surgical capabilities during single port surgery and NOTES by providing augmented motion precision and manipulation dexterity.
Objectives: To evaluate the clinical feasibility and safety of single port surgery and NOTES (mainly transanal and transoral surgery) using a novel single port robotic system.
Design: Prospective, single center, multispecialty study consistent with a stage 1 (Innovation) study described in the Innovation, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long-term Study (IDEAL) framework.
Subjects: Sixty consecutive patients with various benign/malignant pathologies indicated for single port colorectal/urologic surgery or transanal/transoral surgery who fulfilled all the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be recruited.
Intervention: Single port surgery and transanal/transoral surgery will be performed using the novel single port robotic system.
Study Endpoints: Primary: conversion rate and perioperative complications. Secondary: operative time, blood loss, pain scores, analgesic requirement, and length of stay.
Hypothesis: The prospective study will provide important information on the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of the novel single port robotic system in performing single port surgery and NOTES in various surgical specialties. A positive study will provide supporting evidence for continuing development of this new technology.

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Conversion rate (time frame: Up to 1 month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03010813, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Feb 2018.
