Stanford Program to Accelerate Robotic Children's Surgery

This study is looking at the da Vinci Xi Surgical System, a robotic system that helps surgeons perform minimally invasive operations. The goal is to see if this system is safe and works well for children and teenagers (ages 6 to 21) who need surgeries like sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery), cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), splenectomy (spleen removal), hysterectomy (uterus removal), or endometriosis treatment. Researchers want to gather more information to confirm the safety and performance of this robotic system in a real-world setting. They will be looking at how well the surgery goes during the operation and if there are any serious problems related to the device. The study aims to enroll 250 participants and is currently unclear regarding its recruitment status.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 250 participants aged 6 to 21 years old. It will compare outcomes between robotic surgery and standard care, with two sequential arms and a registry of non-robotic participants.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoints are measured during the operation (intraoperative).
