First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two devices used during robotic gastric sleeve surgery to see which causes less shoulder, neck, and chest pain afterward. About 74 adults having non-emergency sleeve gastrectomy will be randomly assigned to receive either the AirSeal or DV5 insufflation system. Researchers will measure pain levels and recovery times to find out if one device is better for patient comfort.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

AirSeal Insufflation system and DV5 Insufflation system (medical devices used during surgery)

What this could lead to

If one device works better, it could mean less pain after gastric sleeve surgery, helping patients recover more comfortably.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study (74 people) comparing two devices, so results may not apply to everyone. Pain is subjective and can vary widely.
