Summary: | New generation devices that combine high-flow insufflation with smoke aspiration using continuous gas recirculation ]so-called Insufflator/aspirator systems (IAS)] have recently been developed to generate pneumoperitoneum. The use of an IAS could have an impact on surgical compared to conventional insufflation systems (CIS). The present study aimed to compare the clinical effectiveness/safety, healthorganizational, and pathological/oncological outcomes of the CIS versus IAS during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Comparative retrospective cohort study including patients with non-metastatic prostate cancer treated with RARP by four expert surgeons at a robotic referral centre between January 2020 and December 2021. A CIS was used until 15 March 2021, and the IAS thereafter. Data were extracted from the Institutional Review Board-approved (#1064) retro and prospective institutional database.
The final analysis included 299 patients (143 CIS; 156 IAS). We found no statistically significant differences in demographic data and preoperative results, allowing adequate group comparison. The rate of complications of any degree (9.1% and 1.9%, |
