ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06425016
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study wants to see if robotic surgery reduces early post‑operative pain and improves quality of life compared with standard laparoscopic surgery. It will also look at safety, weight loss and other outcomes up to one year.
