Abstract

Limited studies examined the effects of pneumoperitoneum during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and with AirSeal. The aim of this study was to assess the effect on hemodynamics of lower pressure pneumoperitoneum (8 mmHg) with AirSeal, during RARP in steep Trendelenburg 45°, proving how the combination of steep Trendelenburg, lower pressure pneumoperitoneum and the extreme surgeon's experience allows to safely perform RARP using a low-impact surgery.
