Low-pressure gas versus standard gas for liver and pancreas surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of inflating the belly during keyhole surgery on the liver or pancreas. It aims to see if using lower pressure gas is safer and helps you recover faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) keyhole surgery on your liver or pancreas, such as removing part of the pancreas or liver.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are able to give informed consent.
- You do not have any condition that prevents using gas to inflate your belly during surgery.

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 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 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.
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 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.
