Evaluation of SINGLE PORT (SP) Robotic Technology in Colorectal Surgery
Currently a multiport robotic surgery platform (Intuitive Xi) is widely available and used for colorectal surgery indications. A Single port platform (Intuitive SP) is FDA approved for Head and Neck and Urology but has not been widely used in colorectal surgery. This study seeks to evaluate the safe and effective use of the SP platform for colorectal surgery indications.
• The subject is male or female, greater than or equal to 18 years of age. If female, the subject has a negative urine pregnancy test and is not lactating, or has not been of childbearing potential for at least 3 months prior to use of study product. To be considered to be not of childbearing potential, the subject must be postmenopausal for at least 2 years; have had a hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation, or be proven to be otherwise incapable of pregnancy. If of childbearing potential, the subject must have been practicing one of the following methods of contraception consistently for at least 1 month prior to study entry and agree to continue practicing it during the study: hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine device, spermicide and barrier, spouse/partner sterility; or is practicing abstinence and agrees to continue abstinence or to start an acceptable method of contraception from the above list if sexual activity commences.
