About this study

Laparoscopy by its mini-invasive character has revolutionized abdominal and colorectal surgery but certain limitations remains (post-operative pain due to pneumoperitoneum, pneumoperitoneum stability, visibility during bleeding, smoke evacuation). The medical device for continuous pressure insufflation during laparoscopic procedures Airseal® would allow the maintenance of pneumoperitoneum at a lower pressure. The stable low pressure (7mmHg) is described in the literature for 15 years as the best way to reduce scapular pain, but until the marketing of Airseal, working at 7mmHg was not possible because the space of work was not stable. Moreover, this device makes it possible to obtain a better vision because of the evacuation of the fumes potentially leading to a reduction in the operating time.

Read the detailed description

This research focuses on a medical device that allows the surgeon to perform the surgical procedure at a lower pressure than usual.

The main objective of this study is to compare the duration of hospitalization of patients with laparoscopic colectomy at low pressure (5-7 mmHg) versus standard pressure (12-15 mmHg) It is a prospective randomized monocentric double blind study

  10. Partial pressure of mean expired of carbon dioxide (mmHg)

    To examine the variation PECO2 (mmHg) during surgery (at the beginning, middle and at the end)

    Measured: During surgery

  11. Surgical and medical morbidity

    To analyse the cumulative Clavien-Dindo at 30 days

    Measured: From surgery until 30 days (max 45 days)

  12. Postoperative pain

    Pain was evaluated with the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS, from 0 (no pain) to 10 (hurts worst)

    Measured: 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours and 24 hours after the surgery

  13. Use of analgesics

    To evaluate the rate of analgesics administrated (from step1 to step3)

    Measured: An average of 5 days after the surgery

  14. Time before the passage of first stool (days)

    To determine the delay of the laxation and gas response

    Measured: An average of 5 days after the surgery

  15. Time before the passage of first gas (days)

    To determine the delay of the gas response

    Measured: An average of 5 days after the surgery

  16. Time before mobilization (Days before 1st time sitting and standing)

    To determine the delay before mobilization

    Measured: An average of 5 days after the surgery

  17. Quality of cancer surgery

    Rate of curative surgery (R0)

    Measured: During surgery

  18. Number of lymph nodes examed

    Number of lymph nodes examed during a cancer surgery

    Measured: During surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?
