NCT ID NCT07277244

First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This pilot study tests whether using a gentler, low-intensity breathing machine during robotic surgery can reduce lung collapse and breathing problems after surgery. About 60 adults having planned robotic abdominal or pelvic surgery will take part. Researchers will measure lung function changes and track complications like pneumonia or need for breathing support.
