Subcutaneous emphysema--beyond the pneumoperitoneum.

TL;DR: New additional risks factors that may act to increase the risk of subcutaneous emphysema include total gas volume, gas flow rate, valveless trocar systems, and robotic fulcrum forces.

Prospective comparison between the AirSeal® System valve-less Trocar and a standard Versaport™ Plus V2 Trocar in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy.

TL;DR: In the present study, the AirSeal Trocar offered a more stable pneumocavity and facilitated specimen retrieval and needle extraction and no appreciable differences regarding overall operating time, blood loss, camera cleaning, or overall CO2 consumption were observed.

Advances in laparoscopic surgery in urology.

TL;DR: All technical improvements of laparoscopic surgery are extremely valuable to further simplify the use of classical laparoscopy.

Low pressure gynecological laparoscopy (7 mmHg) with AirSeal® System versus a standard insufflation (15 mmHg): A pilot study in 60 patients

TL;DR: LP (7mmHg) laparoscopy with AirSeal® platform allows laparoscopic surgery with less postoperative shoulder pain, and these results could facilitate the development of ambulatory laparoscope.

Total intravenous anaesthesia versus inhalational anaesthesia for adults undergoing transabdominal robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery

TL;DR: Low-quality evidence suggests that propofol reduces postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) over the short term (one to six hours after surgery) after RALRP compared with inhalational anaesthesia, but it is unclear whether this surrogate outcome translates directly to clinical avoidance of ocular complications during surgery.

Laparoscopic Entry: A Review of Techniques, Technologies, and Complications

TL;DR: This guideline should optimize the decision-making process in choosing a particular technique to enter the abdomen during laparoscopy, and there is no evidence that the open entry technique is superior to or inferior to the other entry techniques currently available.

The Physiologic Effects of Pneumoperitoneum in the Morbidly Obese

TL;DR: Morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery are at risk for intraoperative complications relating to the use of CO2 pneumoperitoneum, and surgeons performing laparoscopy should understand the physiologic effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) pneum operitoneum in the morbidly obese.

Cardiovascular effects and acid-base and blood gas changes during laparoscopy

TL;DR: Laroscopy in 10 women with intraperitoneal carbon dioxide insufflation up to 20 mm was accompanied by circulatory stimulation with elevated arterial and central venous blood pressures, tachycardia, hypercarbia, and decrease in pH, suggesting inhibited venous return.

Renal effects of CO2 insufflation: Oliguria and acute renal dysfunction in a rat pneumoperitoneum model

TL;DR: Oliguria can be produced in rats undergoing pneumoperitoneum and is most likely related to renal vascular insufficiency from central venous compression.
