Valveless Trocar Versus Standard Trocar in Robot-assisted Complex Partial Nephrectomy

Perioperative Effects of Valveless Trocar Versus Standard Trocar in Robot-assisted Complex Partial Nephrectomy: a Randomized Prospective Study

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 66 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Regina Elena Cancer Institute · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two kind of trocar in patients undergoing complex robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. The main question it intends to answer is whether the use of valveless trocars can significantly reduce carbon dioxide absorption.

Detailed description

In the literature there are studies on the benefit of valveless trocars in robotic surgery. There are no studies on the potential effects even in complex kidney surgery. Through this randomized study we want to investigate whether the ability to clear CO2 is better using valveless trocars

Conditions

• Cancer of Kidney

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	valveless trocar	the valveless trocar will be used instead of the standard trocar - these trocars are used for insufflation of carbon dioxide into the abdomen
DEVICE	standard trocar	standard trocar, usually camera port for robotic surgery
