Testing low vs high pressure during keyhole abdominal surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two pressure settings used during keyhole (laparoscopic) abdominal surgery in children. The goal is to see which pressure approach works better and is safer for kids during surgery that creates an air-filled space in the belly.

This trial tests whether using a low-pressure gas system (AirSeal) during robot-assisted hiatal hernia repair can reduce shoulder pain after surgery. If you are scheduled for this type of hernia repair, you may be eligible to join.
This trial compares two different amounts of gas pressure (high vs. low) used during minimally invasive major liver surgery, to see which is safer and better for patients. If you are scheduled for a major liver surgery with keyhole or robot techniques, you may be able to take part.
This trial tests whether using lower pressure during sleeve gastrectomy surgery is safe and effective. If you are having this weight loss procedure, researchers want to see how the body responds to less pressure from the gas used during the operation.
This study compares two different gas pressures used during laparoscopic surgery to see if lower pressure reduces shoulder pain afterward. It may help if you're having surgery to remove an ovary, fallopian tube, or ovarian cyst.
This trial compares a low, steady gas pressure method (AirSeal) to standard gas pressure during minimally invasive colorectal surgery. The goal is to see if this approach improves recovery and reduces complications.
This trial compares two methods of gas insufflation (AirSeal vs conventional) during minimally invasive liver, pancreas, or bile duct surgery. It aims to see if one method improves patient outcomes.
