Cure8 trial brief
Why This Matters
Robotic MIS could change how some IBD operations are performed. This study will help determine if robotic approaches are technically feasible and how intraoperative measures compare to standard laparoscopic techniques.
Who Should Pay Attention
Adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis considering minimally invasive surgery; colorectal surgeons and surgical teams; clinical researchers in surgical technology.

What To Know
This is a recruiting observational registry across multiple UK centers enrolling adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are undergoing minimally invasive IBD surgery.
The study will record intraoperative technical metrics (estimated blood loss, port positions, docking time, operative time) to assess feasibility and optimal robotic setup for multi-quadrant procedures. The protocol excludes planned open surgeries and requires capacity for informed consent.
Planned enrollment is about 100 participants at several NHS Trust sites.
Keep In Mind
Observational registry recruiting across multiple UK NHS centers; primary outcomes are intraoperative technical metrics (blood loss, port placement, docking, operative time). This is a protocol/trial record and does not present results.

Emerging Indications for Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment
This registry could collect real-world outcome data about hyperbaric oxygen therapy for many conditions that sometimes overlap with IBD care (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, pouchitis, rectovaginal fistula).
Contemporary outcomes and restorative pathways following colectomy for inflammatory bowel disease: a tertiary centre cohort from Aotearoa New Zealand.
This study reports real-world short-term outcomes after colectomy for IBD at a tertiary New Zealand centre, including complication rates and how often restorative surgery (ileal pouch) was later performed—information...
Essential Updates in the Surgical Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Current Topics From 2024 to Mid‐2026
Surgery is still a core part of care for certain UC and Crohn's patients despite better medical therapies. Newer surgical techniques and coordinated medical–surgical approaches aim to reduce complications and recurrence...
