Summary

This trial asks whether using a lower gas pressure to inflate the abdomen during robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy (a surgery to fix pelvic organ prolapse) can reduce pain after the operation. Adults aged 18 to 90 scheduled for this surgery may join. Researchers will measure pain levels and painkiller use during the first day and at two weeks after surgery, and also check safety by tracking operation time, blood loss, and any need to increase pressure.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Insufflation during surgery (the gas used to inflate the abdomen during robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy)
What this could lead to
If lower gas pressure works, it could lead to less pain and less need for painkillers after pelvic prolapse surgery, improving recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and lower pressure might not reduce pain or could make surgery harder or less safe. Results may not apply to all patients.
