AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with colon or rectal cancer who are planned for robot-assisted surgery meant to remove all of the cancer.
- Age
- Over 18 years
- Sex
- Men and women can join
- Disease stage
- Colorectal cancer, planned for robot-assisted resection meant to remove all of the disease. Cancer that has spread (metastatic) cannot join.
- Earlier treatment
- People who are getting treatment before surgery (neoadjuvant treatment) cannot join. People with 3 or more earlier abdominal operations cannot join.
Main reasons for not taking part
- BMI above 35
- Cannot fill out the QoR15 questionnaire

Low Versus Standard Intraabdominal Pressure in Robot-assisted Colorectal Cancer Surgery: A Double Blinded Randomized Clinical Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the influence of low intraabdominal pressure (compared to standard intraabdominal pressure) during robot-assisted colorectal cancer surgery on patients wellbeing after surgery. Patients included are diagnosed with colon- or rectal cancer, and scheduled for curatively intended surgery. The main question the trial aims to answer is:
Does low intraabdominal pressure during robot-assisted colorectal cancer surgery increase the patients wellbeing after surgery?
Researchers will compare low intraabdominal pressure (8 mmHg) to standard intraabdominal pressure (12 mmHg) to see if there is a difference in quality of recovery scores, pain scores and analgetic consumption.
Participants will be asked to fill out the Quality of Recovery 15 (QoR15) questionnaire 8 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery. Furthermore, patients will be asked to evaluate abdominal pain and shoulder tip pain using the visual analog scale (VAS).
Inclusion: age >18 years; a diagnosis of colorectal cancer; scheduled for curative intended robot-assisted resection.
Exclusion: previous multiple abdominal operations defined as 3 or more; metastatic cancer disease; BMI above 35; inability to fulfill QoR15 questionnaire; construction of a stoma either proactive or permanent; recieving neoadjuvant treatment.
