Surgeon Perception of Gastric Decompression at Time of Gynecologic Laparoscopy, a Randomized Control Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Gastric decompression (oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal gastric tube) for Gynecologic Surgical Procedures and 6 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 150 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether it is necessary to decompress the stomach during gynecologic laparoscopy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there appropriate visualization during surgery without stomach decompression? * Can the surgeon tell the stomach is decompressed? * Is the stomach at risk for injury during surgery? * How is the patient's postoperative experience affected? Participants will undergo their planned surgery as usual and will be asked to complete log about their recovery for the first week after surgery. Researchers will compare patients who have their stomach decompressed during surgery to those who do not undergo stomach decompression to see if it is necessary.
