NCT04687384

Brief Summary

The current hypothesis is that robotic-assisted surgery results in a reduced systemic and peritoneal inflammatory response (SIRS) compared to laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of colon cancer. The purpose is to evaluate differences in the peritoneal and systemic inflammatory response in robot-assisted and laparoscopic surgery of patients undergoing resection for colon cancer in a randomized, blinded controlled trial.

    30 days

  • Differences in intraoperative blood loss

    1 day

  • Conversion rate to open surgery

    1 day

  • Length of surgery (total anesthesia time)

    1 day

  • +6 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (6)

  • Levels of peritoneal inflammatory response in peritoneal fluid

    Postoperative (day 1-3)

  • Patient reported health related quality of recovery (QoR-15)
