Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Stray energy transfer during laparoscopic surgery is recognized as a cause of potentially serious complications. This will be the first study to demonstrate clinical evidence of tissue injury due to stray energy transfer during robotic surgery. This information can then be used to define surgeon modifiable factors that can reduce the risk of patient injury. In addition, these data can guide the development of future robotic and laparoscopic platforms.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Sites

1 registered facility, with the per-site recruitment status where the registry publishes one. ClinicalTrials.gov does not publish per-site enrollment counts.

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
