Summary

This study looked at 70 women having robotic surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. It compared standard gas pressure (15 mmHg) to a slightly lower pressure (12 mmHg) during the operation. The goal was to see if lower pressure leads to less pain right after surgery, without making it harder for the surgeon to see. Pain scores and painkiller use were recorded in the recovery room and at 1 and 14 days after surgery.
