ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how different levels of air pressure used during laparoscopic surgery affect patients' post-operative pain and the visibility of the surgical area. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that allows surgeons to perform operations through small cuts in the body, which can lead to quicker recovery times. The trial is specifically looking at female patients aged 18 and older who are scheduled for laparoscopic surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
To participate in the trial, patients need to agree to follow all study procedures and provide written consent. However, certain individuals may not be eligible, including those who are pregnant, require urgent surgery, or are already using pain medications like opioids. Participants can expect to be part of a study that aims to improve post-surgery experiences, with careful monitoring throughout the process. Overall, this research could help us understand how to make laparoscopic surgeries even more effective and comfortable for patients.
