First seen Jan 19, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study compared two ways to help patients breathe during short gynecologic laparoscopic procedures: the I-gel laryngeal mask (a soft tube placed in the throat) versus standard endotracheal intubation (a tube placed into the windpipe). Researchers measured air leaks, ease of placement, and side effects in 120 participants. The goal was to see if the I-gel is a safe and effective alternative for procedures lasting under two hours.
