What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study is testing an artificial intelligence system that can automatically detect smoke gas produced during laparoscopic surgery. Researchers will collect video data from 30 women undergoing procedures that use high-frequency surgery, which creates smoke. The goal is to train the AI to recognize smoke in real time, helping surgeons maintain a clear view and improve safety.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this AI tool could help surgeons automatically detect and clear smoke during minimally invasive surgery, improving visibility and safety.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 30 participants. The AI model may not perform well in real-world settings or with different equipment.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
