Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Using Airseal in Children (VBAS)

May 14, 2023 updated by: Dr Christelle DESTINVAL, University of Lorraine

Low-Pressure Laparoscopy Using the Airseal System Versus Standard Insufflation in Cholecystectomy in Children: A Monocentric Retrospective Study

The goal of this observational study is to compare the use of Airseal versus a standard insufflation, in children who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, between January 2021 and December 2022.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • amount of analgesics consumed postoperatively
  • mean digital pain scale

Data are directly extracted from patients medical files.

The investigators will compare the Airseal group (A group) to the Standard insufflation group (S group) to see if the A group consumes significatively less analgesics and are less painful than the S group.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Choosing to enter the A or the S group depends on the surgeon's choice.

Only the surgeon, the anesthetic and the nurses in the operating room know which type of insufflation has been chosen.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Amount of analgesics consumed
Time Frame: From the end of surgery to the discharge home, up to 20 days
Number of takings postoperatively
From the end of surgery to the discharge home, up to 20 days
Mean Digital Pain Scale
Time Frame: From the end of surgery to the discharge home, , up to 20 days
Digital Pain Scale: minimum is 0 out of 10 (which means no pain) and maximum is 10 out of 10 (which means very painful). Higher scores mean worse outcomes.
From the end of surgery to the discharge home, , up to 20 days
