Comparing two breathing masks for urologic surgery
This trial tests two different types of laryngeal masks (breathing tubes that sit in the throat) to see which works better during minor urologic procedures. It is for adults having surgery in a lying-down position (on the back or with legs in stirrups) under general anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You are considered healthy or have only mild medical problems (ASA I or II).
- The procedure will be done while you are lying on your back or in the lithotomy position (legs up in stirrups).
