This study aims to investigate the effect of varying insufflation pressures on post-operative pain and adequacy of surgical field visualization among patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery with a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon.
This study aims to investigate the effect of two peritoneal entry techniques on intraoperative and post-operative outcomes among patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery with a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon. Patients will be randomized to either blunt fascial or veress needle peritoneal entry. Insufflation times, failed entries, complications and post-operative pain scores will be collected. The investigators hypothesize that the blunt entry technique will be associated with shorter insufflation times and similar intraoperative and postoperative outcomes compared with the veress needle entry technique. Primary Objective: To evaluate the insufflation times and success upon peritoneal entry according to peritoneal entry technique. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the surgical outcomes and patients pain scores according to peritoneal entry technique.
This is a research study to evaluate the effectiveness of 3 different types of routine pain management regimens used during clinically indicated, minimally invasive oncologic (cancer) surgery. This project is considered "Research" and participation is voluntary. Upon enrollment in this study, the research team will collect data from the patient's medical records. The patient will undergo all of the normal testing and procedures required pre-operatively (standard of care). The study team will then randomly assign the patient (like a flip of a coin) to one of three different study arms for pain management during surgery: 1. Laparoscopic Transversus Abdominis Plane Block (LapTAP) with Local Anesthetic (LA) 2. Laparoscopic Transversus Abdominis Plane Block (LapTAP) only 3. Local Anesthetic (LA) only The patient will receive standard pre- and post-operative care according to clinical guidelines (routine care). The study team will collect information from the patient's medical record for the first 24 hours after their surgery and upon discharge. This information will include pain scores, amount of medication required, any side effects the patient may have experienced, and satisfaction with pain control. Participation in the study will end upon discharge from the hospital.
The objective of the study is to observe the real-life usage of the Maestro Platform for surgical assistance in laparoscopic surgery.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the utility and efficacy of an artificial intelligence (AI) model at identifying structures and phases of surgery compared to traditional white light assessment by trained surgeons. Surgeons will perform the procedure in their standard practice, while the AI model analyzes data from the laparoscopic camera. Surgeons will be asked to audibly state when they identify structures and enter different phases of the surgical procedure. The AI will not alter the surgeon's view or be visible to the surgeon, and the surgeon will perform the procedure in the exact same fashion as they typically do.
This is a randomized trial designed to evaluate testicular outcomes after a single stage versus a two-stage surgical procedure to fix an undescended, one-sided testicle located in the abdomen. Also to determine and compare the costs, surgical complications and the health related quality of life for the two procedures. Testicular outcomes will be measured using a scrotal ultrasound 6-12 months after the procedure (after the second stage procedure for those randomized to a 2 stage surgery).
