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

February 8, 2023 updated by: Ester Forastiere, MD, Regina Elena Cancer Institute

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

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

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Sham Comparator: trocar standard
patients in whom the standard trocar will be used to perform robot-assisted complex partial nephrectomy surgery
Device: standard trocar
standard trocar, usually camera port for robotic surgery
Active Comparator: trocar valveless
patients in whom the valveless trocar will be used to perform robot-assisted complex partial nephrectomy surgery
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
Other Names:
  • airseal

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
carbon dioxide elimination rate: using the formula where end tidal carbon dioxide multiplied by minute volume divided by arterial pressurea (760mmHg) multiplied by patient weight
Time Frame: before extubation
before extubation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
postoperative acute pain: using the NRS scale
Time Frame: at 1 hour and at 4 hour after the end of surgery
at 1 hour and at 4 hour after the end of surgery
subcutaneous emphysema: through clinical observation at the end of the intervention
Time Frame: at 30 minutes afetr the end of anesthesia
at 30 minutes afetr the end of anesthesia
