An observational study in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Crohn Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, sponsored by University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust. Recruiting at 6 sites in United Kingdom. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-27.
Sponsored by University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust · Observational
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.
1,550 studies on the registry are indexed under Inflammatory Bowel Diseases; 426 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 100 is below the median of 140 across 626 observational studies indexed under Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.

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.
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.

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.
Time frame: 12 months
Port placement using position of ports on the abdomen marked in a diagram during surgical procedure.
Time frame: 12 months
Docking of robotic arm in robotic surgery using number of times the docking was done with start and end docking time in HH:MM.
Time frame: 12 months
Operative time using time of surgery performed in HH:MM.
Time frame: 12 months
Started Jul 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Nov 2027, 40 months after the start.
Of 243 non-industry observational studies under Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, half reached primary completion within 38 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 132. This study's planned 40 months is close to that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 280 studies reached it within 36 months; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 122.
Since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026, the dates moved once, on Oct 27, 2026: primary completion May 2026 → Nov 2027 and completion Jun 2026 → Jun 2028.
