In plain English
What this trial is testing
Condition(s) listed: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Crohn Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. This is an observational study: researchers collect information (for example questionnaires, samples, or scans) but the study does not assign a treatment.
Who can join
- Ages 18 and older
- Any sex
Some of the main requirements, copied from the record:
- Aged 18 years or over
- Undergoing IBD surgery using MIS (minimally invasive surgery) techniques
- Histological/radiological evidence of inflammatory bowel disease
There are also 2 reasons someone might not be able to join (exclusion criteria). Only the trial team can confirm whether you qualify.
What's involved
- About 100 participants are expected to take part.
- Start date: 2024-07-12.
- Main results expected around 2026-05 (estimate from the record).
- 6 study sites listed (6 marked recruiting) in United Kingdom.
Main thing being measured
- To see if robotic surgery is technically feasible for patients with inflammatory bowel disease measured during intra-operative procedure that includes: estimated blood loss in mL. (12 months)
In the researchers’ words
To determine if robotic surgery can be performed for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, to ascertain the optimal robotic set up for multi-quadrant IBD operations and evaluate clinical outcomes in robotic compared to laparoscopic surgery.
