Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older undergoing laparoscopic or robotic colonic resection for benign or malignant conditions.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients undergoing laparotomy procedures or those with conditions such as pelvic sepsis or pregnancy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to evaluate the effects of low stable pressure pneumoperitoneum during colorectal surgeries on postoperative recovery. By utilizing the Airseal Insufflator, the study will assess various parameters that may influence recovery, including pain management, length of hospital stay, and overall patient satisfaction. The research will involve a prospective international cohort to gather data on the effectiveness of this approach in enhancing early rehabilitation programs after surgery. The findings could help optimize surgical techniques and improve patient outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to shorter hospital stays and reduced postoperative pain for patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with low-pressure laparoscopic techniques, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
