Maestro 1.1 Post-Market Registry
This study, called Maestro 1.1 Post-Market Registry, is observing how a new surgical system, the Maestro Platform, is used during keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery. Keyhole surgery is a way of operating using small cuts, a camera, and special instruments. The main aim is to watch and learn how this new platform is actually used by surgeons when they are performing operations on adult patients. By gathering this information, researchers can understand its practical use in a real-world hospital setting. This helps to ensure that new medical technologies are effective and safe for patients who need surgery.

What is this study about?
This study, called the Maestro 1.1 Post-Market Registry, is all about observing how a new piece of surgical equipment, known as the Maestro Platform, is used during a certain type of operation called keyhole surgery. Keyhole surgery (or laparoscopic surgery) is a common way to perform operations without making large cuts. Instead, surgeons use small cuts, a tiny camera, and special tools to do the surgery.
The main idea of this study is simply to watch and understand how surgeons are using the Maestro Platform in their everyday work. It's not testing a new drug or procedure; it's about seeing this technology in action. This kind of study is important because it helps medical professionals learn how new tools perform in real-life situations, rather than just in controlled tests. It allows them to gather information about how the platform assists surgeons and contributes to the surgery.
Learning how new medical technologies are used in practice is really important for improving patient care. By understanding the real-world usage of the Maestro Platform, doctors and engineers can make sure it's being used effectively and can identify any areas where it might be improved in the future. This ultimately benefits patients by contributing to safer and more efficient surgical procedures.
Key takeaways
- The study observes a new surgical tool (Maestro Platform) during keyhole surgery.
- It aims to understand how the platform is used in real hospital settings.
- Participation involves no extra procedures, visits, or follow-up.
- Only adults (18+) having keyhole surgery can take part.
- It helps improve future surgical care and technology.
Who may be eligible?
To take part in this study, you need to be an adult, aged 18 or older, who is already scheduled to have a keyhole (laparoscopic) operation.
There aren't many strict rules that would stop you from joining, but the doctor overseeing the study might decide that it's not suitable for you for other reasons. They will discuss this with you if needed.
Could this study suit you?
Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.
- Are you 18 years old or older?
- Are you scheduled to have keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery?
- Has your doctor discussed your suitability for the study with you?
What does participation involve?
If you take part in this study, you won't have any extra procedures or tests. The study simply watches how the Maestro Platform is used during your keyhole surgery, which you would be having anyway. There are no additional visits, medications, or follow-up appointments connected to this study. It simply involves observing your planned surgery. The total duration of your involvement would be the time it takes for your scheduled surgery.
