Comparing two gas pressures for appendix surgery
Part of Digestive system, Infections, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have acute appendicitis and are scheduled for laparoscopic appendix removal.
- You are generally healthy (no severe heart or lung problems).
- You are not pregnant.
- You have no appendix mass, cancer suspicion, or severe infection that would require open surgery.
- You have not had extensive previous abdominal surgery that could cause scar tissue complications.

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 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.
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 study compares two different gas pressure levels used during robotic surgery to see if one is better for patients. If you are having robotic surgery, it may help doctors improve safety and recovery.
This trial compares two ways of doing emergency appendix removal surgery for people with a burst appendix and widespread infection in the belly. It looks at whether doing the surgery with small incisions (laparoscopic) is just as good as the traditional larger incision.
This study compares using lower gas pressure during sleeve gastrectomy surgery to see if it reduces pain or improves recovery, while still being safe. You would receive the standard surgery but with a different pressure setting in your abdomen during the operation.
