First-in-Human Trial of a Novel Endoluminal Robotic System for En-Bloc Resection of Bladder Tumours
This is a prospective, single-arm study to evaluate the feasibility and safety of performing transurethral en-bloc resection of bladder tumours using the Zenith robotic system.
Inclusion: Age between 18 and 75 years; Body mass index <35 kg/m2; Bladder tumour located <3 cm in size; clinically non-muscle invasive bladder tumour; Clinically indicated for en-bloc resection; Willingness to participate as demonstrated by giving informed consent.
Exclusion: Severe concomitant illness that drastically shortens life expectancy or increases risk of therapeutic intervention; Emergency surgery; Untreated active infection; Presence of another malignancy or distant metastasis; Presence of endoscopic or imaging signs of detrusor muscle invasion; Contraindication to general anaesthesia / spinal anaesthesia; ASA > 2 patients; Un-corrected coagulopathy; Vulnerable population (e.g. mentally disabled, pregnant).
