Robotic Inflammatory Bowel Disease Development, Learning and Efficacy Study (RIDDLE)

December 2, 2025 updated by: University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust
To determine if robotic surgery can be performed for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, to ascertain the optimal robotic set up for multi-quadrant IBD operations and evaluate clinical outcomes in robotic compared to laparoscopic surgery.
