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

This study tests a special care plan to prevent bedsores (pressure injuries) in people having planned surgeries that last more than 3 hours. If you're having orthopedic, general, neurosurgical, or urological surgery, this bundle might help keep your skin safe.
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.
This trial tests a special positioning protocol during brain surgery to reduce skin damage and shoulder pain. It may help patients who have surgery lying on their side for at least two hours.
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 studies a specific robotic surgical system during abdominal and pelvic surgeries. It may help doctors improve how these operations are done using minimally invasive techniques (smaller cuts).
This trial tests a special way of breathing support during robot-assisted surgery to protect your lungs. It's for people who are at higher risk of lung problems after surgery.
