ClinConnect Summary

The Stanford Program to Accelerate Robotic Children's Surgery is a clinical trial aimed at testing the safety and effectiveness of a special robotic surgical system called the da Vinci Xi. This study will look specifically at how well this technology works for treating various medical conditions in children and young adults aged 6 to 21. Some of the conditions being studied include surgeries for obesity, gallbladder removal, endometriosis, and several other complex procedures. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it will be conducted with careful approval from Stanford University's ethics board.

To be eligible for the trial, participants must be between 6 and 21 years old, weigh at least 15 kilograms, and have a medical condition that requires one of the surgeries being studied. They also should not have had any previous robotic surgery. Participants and their guardians will need to agree to the study's rules and provide written consent. Throughout the trial, participants can expect close monitoring and support from the medical team to ensure safety and gather important information about the robotic system's performance in young patients.
