The Asensus Paediatric Robotic Registry

This is a prospective and retrospective, multi-center, observational registry study evaluating the use of the Senhance Surgical System in paediatric patients undergoing laparoscopically-assisted surgery. The trial is open-label and designed to collect both historical and prospective data from participating centers. Paediatric subjects who have undergone or will undergo procedures with the Senhance Surgical System will be enrolled. The primary purpose for this study is to assess safety outcomes. Secondary endpoints include length of hospital stay, procedural information, and patient-reported outcomes.
