Timing of lung maneuver may reduce surgery complications
NCT ID NCT07662642
First seen Jun 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the best time to perform a lung recruitment maneuver—a technique to reopen collapsed lung areas—during robotic prostate surgery. 86 adults will be randomly assigned to have the maneuver either before or after the abdomen is filled with gas and the patient is tilted head-down. The goal is to see which timing leads to fewer lung problems like collapsed lung or low oxygen levels in the first 72 hours after surgery.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
lung recruitment maneuver (a procedure to open collapsed lung areas during surgery)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help determine the best time to perform a lung-opening maneuver during robotic prostate surgery, potentially reducing breathing problems after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 86 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The two timings may show no meaningful difference.
