Comparative Study Clinical TrialA novel lifting system for minimally accessed surgery: a prospective comparison between "Laparo-V" gasless and CO2 pneumoperitoneum laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
Carbon dioxide (CO(2)) pneumoperitoneum can lead to cardiopulmonary loading and complications. By comparing with conventional CO(2) pneumoperitoneum approach, we introduce a novel Laparo-V lifting system for gasless laparoscopic colorectal surgery. ⋯ Laparo-V gasless laparoscopic approach is feasible in various colorectal procedures. It carries advantages comparable with those of CO(2) pneumoperitoneum; while, the intra-operative hemodynamic was more stable. Therefore, laparoscopic approach using the Laparo-V system could be beneficial to patients with high cardiopulmonary risk and represents an alternative for minimally invasive surgery.
