All procedures were performed using the RFBI and an 11\u00a0mm study trocar. Primary outcomes were safety, defined as the absence of serious or harmful adverse device effects (SADEs or ADEs), and feasibility, defined as completing the procedure without switching to a conventional insufflator. Secondary outcomes included pressure stability at the device outlet and documentation of observed events affecting pressure stability (e.g., trocar insertion\/repositioning, leaks, suction, etc.).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twelve patients were enrolled, having a total RFBI insufflation time of 35.9\u00a0h in seven different laparoscopic procedures. No SADEs occurred. One ADE occurred while inserting a 5\u00a0mm instrument into the 11\u00a0mm study trocar that resulted in high air leakage, causing temporary loss of surgical workspace but no harm. All procedures were completed without the need to switch to a conventional insufflator. Pressure remained stable at both target pressures of 10\u00a0mmHg (median 10.0\u00a0mmHg, interquartile range (IQR) 0.12) and 14\u00a0mmHg (median 14.0 mmHg, IQR 0.15). The RFBI rapidly re-established the target pressure after observed events affecting stability, without manual intervention or procedural delay.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This first-in-human study demonstrates that RFBI technology is safe, feasible, and capable of maintaining stable insufflation pressures across varied adult laparoscopic procedures.
