Clinical trials Below are current clinical trials.123 studies in Surgery (open studies only). Filter this list of studies by location, status and more. A Study to Evaluate Perceptions of Midline Sternotomy Scar in Children and Young Adults Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how children and young adults perceive their midline sternotomy scars (in terms of appearance, associated symptoms, consciousness, satisfaction with appearance/symptoms, and impact on quality of life)? Eliminating Breast Cancer Surgery in Exceptional Responders with Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy Rochester, Minn. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how often breast cancer recurs (returns after treatment) in the breast in patients who have been treated with chemotherapy and have had follow-up radiation therapy (but not surgery) and are in complete remission (no evidence of disease). This is an investigational study. Radiation therapy is delivered using FDA-approved and commercially available methods. The study doctor can explain how radiation therapy is designed to work. About 120 participants will be enrolled on this multicenter study. Up to 90 may take part at MD Anderson. A Phase II Clinical Trial Comparing the Efficacy of RO7198457 Versus Watchful Waiting in Patients With ctDNA-positive, Resected Stage II (High Risk) and Stage III Colorectal Cancer Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of RO7198457 versus watchful waiting in patients with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) positive, surgically resected Stage II/III rectal cancer, or Stage II (high risk)/Stage III colon cancer. A Study Assessing Robotic Surgery in the Seated Position for Benign and Malignant Lesions of the Head and Neck Using the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System Rochester, Minn. This study is designed to investigate if transoral surgery with the patient in the seated position utilizing the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) will enable better visualization and expedited removal of benign and malignant tumors of the throat. A Study to Test Concussion Return to Baseline after Elective Craniotomy Procedure Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to determine return to baseline (RTB) period after an elective craniotomy procedure using the ImPACT testing assessment. A Study to Evaluate Time to First Movement for Fetal Surgery Patients Injected with Intramuscular Anesthesia Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine the time from intramuscular injection to the time of first fetal movement after a fetal surgery procedure. The Use of Topical Tranexamic Acid in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction with Acellular Dermal Matrix Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to determine whether administration of Topical Transexamic Acid (TXA) at the time of tissue expander placement in the setting of implant-based breast reconstruction reduces postoperative drain volume, as well as reducing the time until drains meet criteria for removal. A Study of Patients Undergoing Neoadjuvant Therapy for Resectable Non-small Cell Lung Cancer to Evaluate Perioperative Circulating Tumor DNA as a Prognostic Biomarker Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to determine the validity of employing quantitative ctDNA as a surrogate marker for pathologic treatment response in patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy for Stage IIA-IIIB NSCLC undergoing curative-intent resection. We will assess the relationship between major pathologic response (≤10% viable tumor remaining) and percent change in levels of ctDNA concentration before and after neoadjuvant therapy. Genetic Testing in Screening Patients with Stage IB-IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer That Has Been or Will Be Removed by Surgery (The ALCHEMIST Screening Trial) Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. This research trial studies genetic testing in screening patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been or will be removed by surgery. Studying the genes in a patient's tumor cells may help doctors select the best treatment for patients that have certain genetic changes. A Study to Evaluate a Virtual Assistant for Plastic Surgery Patients Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of a recently developed artificial intelligence virtual assistant (AIVA) on plastic surgery patients and providers’ experience and leverage the use of new technologies to promote high-quality service and meaningful relationships between plastic surgeons and patients.

The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
