Robotic Inflammatory Bowel Disease Development, Learning and Efficacy Study

Sponsor

University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Jul 12, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Crohn Disease Ulcerative Colitis

Summary

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.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is tracking surgical outcomes for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) — conditions like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis — who are having minimally invasive surgery, including robotic-assisted procedures. The goal is to understand how these newer surgical techniques perform in real-world practice. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (confirmed by imaging or tissue analysis) - You are scheduled for minimally invasive (keyhole) IBD surgery **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your surgery is planned as open (traditional large-incision) surgery - You are unable to provide informed consent Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
