Timing of lung maneuver may reduce surgery complications
NCT ID NCT07662642
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at when to perform a lung recruitment maneuver—a procedure that reopens collapsed lung areas—during robotic prostate surgery. Researchers will compare doing it before or after the patient is tilted head-down and gas is pumped into the abdomen. The goal is to see which timing leads to fewer lung complications after surgery. About 86 adults having elective robotic prostate surgery will take part.
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 timing for lung recruitment maneuvers during robotic prostate surgery, potentially reducing lung complications 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 study does not test a new drug or treatment, only compares timing of an existing procedure.
