Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults 18 or older who are having robotic surgery. Participants will help researchers find out if using lower gas pressure during surgery can reduce pain and speed up recovery.

About This Trial
During surgery that is done using a robot, the surgeon needs to put carbon dioxide gas into the belly to lift the belly wall. This is done so the surgeon can adequately see all the body organs and operate safely. Many surgeons currently use a standard pressure of 15 mmHg (a unit to measure pressure). However, many patients find the use of this pressure to be painful after surgery. New research has…
