To compare intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomoses for robotic-assisted and laparoscopic right colectomies
This is a prospective multicenter observational study to evaluate outcomes of intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomoses for robotic-assisted and laparoscopic right colectomies.
Intuitive Surgical is the lead sponsor of 62 studies on the registry; 6 are open to participants now.
Of its 7 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 1 (14%) have results posted.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Participants will undergo either robotic-assisted or laparoscopic surgery with an intracorporeal anastomosis due to begin or malignant Right Colon Disease.
Procedure: Right Colectomy with Intracorporeal Anastomosis
Participants will undergo either robotic-assisted or laparoscopic surgery with an extracorporeal anastomosis due to begin or malignant Right Colon Disease.
Procedure: Right Colectomy with Extracorporeal Anastomosis
With the patient under general anesthesia, pneumoperitoneum is achieved by a method of choice of the operating surgeon. Port Placement is completed as per the standard of care. Dissection is performed and the ileocolic vessels are identified. The right mesocolon is mobilized and the ileal mesentery is divided. The transverse colon and ileum are then divided with the stapler. Next, attention is turned to constructing the anastomosis. For this purpose, the terminal ileum and the transverse colon stump are brought together. A colotomy and ileostomy is created to form a common channel. The common enterotomy is then closed as per the surgeon's standard of care. The specimen is extracted through an off-midline incision (muscle splitting transverse incision, Pfannenstiel).
With the patient under general anesthesia, pneumoperitoneum is achieved by a method of choice of the operating surgeon. Port Placement is completed as per the standard of care. Dissection is performed and the ileocolic vessels are identified. Intracorporeal devascularization may be performed at the surgeon's discretion. The gastrocolic ligament is taken down and the hepatic flexure is mobilized. After complete mobilization of the right colon, the midline incision is extended to serve as the extraction site. The specimen is delivered through the midline extraction incision and the anastomosis is conducted in a standard open technique. The two cut ends of the bowels are aligned for extracorporeal anastomosis.
Incidence of incisional hernia at one year after index procedure.
The primary endpoint of the study is the incidence of incisional hernia for intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomoses within one year after the right colectomy procedure. Incidence of incisional hernia either patient self-reported or clinical diagnosis will be assessed at one year after the right colectomy procedure.
Time frame: 1 year
Time to first flatus after index procedure
The secondary endpoint of the study is time to first flatus for intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomoses after the right colectomy procedure. Time to first flatus is defined as days from a right colectomy procedure to first occurrence of flatus during subject's post-operative recovery.
Time frame: up to 1 week after index procedure
