Support surfaces during robotic pelvic surgery
Part of Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares different support surfaces for patients having robotic surgery in the lower pelvic area while in a steep head-down position. It aims to see which surface helps prevent skin injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for robotic surgery in the lower pelvic area (like the bladder, prostate, or rectum)
- Your surgery will use a steep head-down (Trendelenburg) position
- You are 18 years or older
- You do not have any existing bedsores or pressure injuries
- You have no skin conditions that would make skin checks difficult
