In the researchers' words
The Robocop trial is an international multi-centre, single blinded, randomized controlled superiority trial conducted in centres experienced in robotic-assisted liver surgery. Eligible patients for radical cholecystectomy will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to undergo robotic-assisted or open resection within an enhanced recovery setting. The primary endpoint is time to functional recovery. Secondary endpoints include length of hospital stay, resection margin, number of retrieved lymph nodes, postoperative complications, quality of life, abdominal wall complaints and direct and indirect costs.
