AirSeal versus conventional gas for minimally invasive HPB surgery
This trial compares two methods of gas insufflation (AirSeal vs conventional) during minimally invasive liver, pancreas, or bile duct surgery. It aims to see if one method improves patient outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two different amounts of gas pressure (high vs. low) used during minimally invasive major liver surgery, to see which is safer and better for patients. If you are scheduled for a major liver surgery with keyhole or robot techniques, you may be able to take part.
This study compares two pressure settings used during keyhole (laparoscopic) abdominal surgery in children. The goal is to see which pressure approach works better and is safer for kids during surgery that creates an air-filled space in the belly.
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 a low-pressure gas system (AirSeal) during robot-assisted hiatal hernia repair can reduce shoulder pain after surgery. If you are scheduled for this type of hernia repair, you may be eligible to join.
This trial tests whether a special gas system (Airseal) used with very low air pressure during robotic prostate removal surgery can help patients recover better. It compares this to standard methods for men with prostate cancer.
This trial compares two devices (AirSeal and DV5) used during gastric sleeve surgery to see which works better. It may help people undergoing planned sleeve gastrectomy.
