U.S., July 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07710352) titled 'Low Gas Pressure vs Standard Gas Pressure in Weight-Loss Surgery' on July 13.
Brief Summary: During weight-loss surgery that is done using a robot, the surgeon needs to put carbon dioxide gas into the belly to lift the belly wall. This is done so the surgeon can adequately see all the body organs and operate safely. Many surgeons currently use a standard pressure of 15 mmHg (a unit to measure pressure). However, many patients find the use of this pressure to be painful after surgery. New research has shown that using a lower pressure with a device called "AirSeal" can safely reduce pain and lead to faster recovery after surgery.
