Low vs standard belly pressure for robot colorectal cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether using lower air pressure inside the belly during robot-assisted colorectal cancer surgery helps patients recover better compared to the standard pressure. It aims to find a gentler approach that might reduce pain and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
- You are scheduled for robot-assisted surgery to remove the cancer (curative intent).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or lower.
- You are able to answer a short questionnaire about how you feel after surgery (QoR15).
- You will not need a stoma (a bag for waste) during or after surgery.
- Your cancer has not spread to other parts of the body (non-metastatic).
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation before surgery (no neoadjuvant treatment).
- You have had fewer than 3 previous abdominal surgeries.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving numbing medicine (local anesthetic) around certain belly nerves before robotic colon surgery can help reduce pain after the operation. It may help you recover more comfortably with less need for strong painkillers.
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 tests whether using lower gas pressure during robotic prostate surgery can reduce pain after the operation. It aims to help men recover more comfortably.
This trial compares two ways of inflating the belly during keyhole surgery on the liver or pancreas. It aims to see if using lower pressure gas is safer and helps you recover faster.
This study compares a low-pressure way of filling the abdomen with gas during certain colon surgeries. It aims to see whether this helps the bowel “wake up” faster after surgery (less postoperative ileus).
This trial studies a low-impact approach to colon or upper-rectum surgery using small cameras (laparoscopy) to see if it works well and is safe. You may be eligible if you are scheduled for a specific type of colon/rectal operation and can safely be monitored during the study.
