INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study to compare the effects of two support surfaces-gel pads (used in routine practice) and microbead-filled pads-placed under the shoulders in the steep Trendelenburg position during robotic surgery, on the development of pressure injuries and pain.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- Patients scheduled to undergo robotic surgery in the lower pelvic region in the steep Trendelenburg position
- Patients aged 18 years and older
Exclusion Criteria5
- Patients with existing pressure injuries
- Patients with communication barriers
- Patients with skin anomalies that interfere with skin assessment
- Patients requiring conversion to open surgery during the procedure
- Patients whose position is changed during surgery

Interventions
Patients will undergo a preoperative pressure injury risk assessment. After the induction of general anesthesia, a multilayer silicone wound dressing will be applied to the shoulder area. The shoulder will then be supported using microbead-filled support surfaces. This support surface will remain in place throughout the duration of the surgery.
