ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating how the use of a muscle relaxant called curare affects laparoscopic surgery, where doctors perform operations through small cuts in the abdomen. In this type of surgery, a gas is used to create space in the abdomen, allowing the surgeons to work more easily. The trial aims to understand the relationship between how much curare is used and the pressure of the gas during surgery. This is important because even if the muscle relaxant seems to be effective, it might not always create the best conditions for surgery.

To participate in this study, individuals must be adults aged 65 to 74 who are scheduled for robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery performed by two specific surgeons known for their similar techniques. Participants can expect to help researchers learn more about how to improve surgical conditions during laparoscopic procedures, which could lead to better outcomes. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it promises to explore important factors that could enhance the effectiveness of laparoscopic surgeries.
