Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Subjects who will undergo the study specified procedure as primary procedure with da Vinci 5 robot and who meet all eligibility criteria will be considered for enrollment.

You may qualify if:

  • Age 22 years or older
  • ASA ≤ 3
  • The clinical decision has been made to perform multi-port robotic assisted surgery with da Vinci 5 with Force Feedback instruments for the study specified procedure as primary procedure prior to enrollment in the study
  • Subject or a legally authorized representative is able to provide written informed consent using the study informed consent form prior to the study
  • Subject is willing and able to comply with the study protocol requirements including follow up schedule

You may not qualify if:

  • Subject receiving an emergent procedure
  • Subject planned to undergo major concomitant surgery for the treatment of a different medical condition than was originally planned
  • Subject with previous ipsilateral surgery (open, endoscopic or robotic) with the same surgical indication
  • Subject with past or ongoing medical conditions (for example: inflammatory bowel disease) which, in the judgment of the Investigator, puts them at high risk for surgery and not appropriate for the study
  • Subject is pregnant or suspected to be pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Subject has any other condition or personal circumstance that, in the judgment of the Investigator, might interfere with the collection of complete quality data
  • Subject is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or a significant risk investigational device study within the past 6 months
  • Subject belongs to a vulnerable population.
  • Subject is contraindicated for anesthesia or surgery.
  • Subject has had previous neoadjuvant therapy, previous chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and/or radiation therapy for the treatment of the cancer to be resected within the past 6 months
  • Subject with hemodynamic or respiratory instability, which precludes the Investigator from performing the RAS.
  • Subject in whom inadequate visualization makes a minimally invasive approach not feasible, as determined from the investigator assessment prior to docking the robot.
  • Subject with adhesions, scarring and disease status in the body which in the opinion of the investigator limits the ability to perform the minimally invasive procedure.
