Comparing low versus high gas pressure in minimally invasive liver surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two different gas pressures used during keyhole liver surgery. The goal is to see if a lower pressure reduces bleeding or other complications while still allowing the surgeon to operate safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must be able to give informed consent

- You do not have a bleeding disorder or are not taking blood thinners other than aspirin
- You do not have severe heart, lung, or nerve/muscle disease

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 study compares using lower or higher gas pressure during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery in children. The goal is to see if lower pressure is just as safe and might cause less pain or fewer side effects.
This trial compares two different air pressures used during laparoscopic appendix surgery to see if one leads to better outcomes. If you're having this surgery, the pressure level could affect your recovery, and this study aims to find which is safer and more effective.
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 using lower gas pressure during minimally invasive gynecologic surgery to the standard pressure. The goal is to see if lower pressure reduces pain and speeds recovery after surgery.
