The Effect of Different Support Surface Applications
Sponsor: Acibadem University
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.

Conditions
Interventions
microbead-filled support surfaces
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.
Jel support surfaces
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 jel support surfaces. This support surface will remain in place throughout the duration of the surgery.
