Breathing technique during anesthesia may improve Surgeon's view in robotic colorectal surgery
NCT ID NCT07097129
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether using a mask to help patients breathe during anesthesia affects the surgeon's view and bowel condition in robotic colorectal surgery. Sixty adults were randomly assigned to receive mask ventilation or no mask ventilation before intubation. The researchers measured surgical visibility, stomach swelling, and bowel movement using rating scales.
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 could help surgeons choose the best ventilation method to improve visibility during robotic colorectal surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or surgeries. The outcomes are based on subjective ratings.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients between the ages of 18 and 80 who are scheduled to undergo robotic colorectal surgery will be included in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with preoperative prediction of possible difficult intubation * Presence of restrictive/obstructive lung disease requiring CPAP application for treatment in preoperative anaesthesia evaluation * Patients with cardiovascular diseases (EF \< 20%, advanced aortic stenosis, decompensated heart failure) that require change of at least one of the drugs to be used for anaesthesia induction * Presence of allergy to any of the drugs to be used in anaesthesia induction and maintenance
